Does anyone know what Apple plans to do with the 030, if anything?  I
imagine third party 030 cards will become available for the MacII and
maybe the SE, but they may not utilize the full instruction set.
Specifically, does Apple plan to put the 030 on a slightly revised
version of the MacII (Call it the MacII+ with Applesoft Basic instead
of integer basic), do they plan to put out a wholly new machine, or do
they not plan to use it at all (doubtful)?

Also, has anyone heard anything about NeXT?  I'm not really worried,
but I might possibly get a Mac II, and it would really suck if
something came and blew it out of the water.  I admit, the possibility
is miniscule, but we are talking a heavy cash investment here.
