	With iNTEL trying to drive out second-sourced '286, what make you
think that prices for the 386SX will drop?  iNTEL purposely refused to
second-source the 386 (and SX) so that they can keep the price artificially
high.  With that mentality in mind, I don't see how it'll cost the same as
68K unless 'mass quantities' you're talking about is more than 10 digits...
