In fact I would venture to say that they did so with the introduction of the Mac IIx. It is obvious that Apple (and users) see some benefit in the '030, if for nothing other than the on-board cache and the memory management instructions, especially for a new operating system. Thus I imagine that Mac II owners will need at least a PMMU. It would be best if Apple just came out in the open and announced their plans and how the Mac II would fit in, IMHO.
