I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but I SERIOUSLY doubt if Apple will ever
put a coprocessor or any of that other neato-hardware into the GS, because
there is no "need" for it.  Even though the GS is an outdated and slow
machine, the Apple II market is oriented mainly around education, thats the
only reason that the II still exists.  Anyone who wants or needs co-processing
and multitasking will be smart and buy a Mac.  Were talking about 2 very
different markets here, so I wouldnt keep my hopes up on anything so fancy for
the GS.
