(Sorry if this is a repost)

Does the NeXT computer have a cache external to the processor?  I know the
68030 has on-chip data and instruction caches, but their small size leads to 
high miss rates.  If NeXT does have an external cache, what is its size,
organization, replacement algorithm, "average" miss rate, etc.?

	Thanks,
