The reports on the '030, vis-a-vis configurations, are close enough. As I
said, others may give their own views, but I prefer the conservative
approach of not making definitive statements until I have actually
checked out a Beta level product. This applies to all product development,
software and hardware, and not just to the '030.

However, the report about there being 50 of 'em out there is somewhat
premature and was, I believe, in the context of the UK-managed "ABAQ"
developer systems, rather than the '030.
