I agree that the description of 7.0 sounds like Apple is
addressing most of the complaints/suggestions/etc. for
improving the Mac system.

I have a question to which somebody may know the answer.
The document states that to use virtual memory, I could
install the PMMU chip in my Mac II. I phoned our campus
distributor, and all they know about is the 68030 board
which sells for about $1,600. They said it would probably
take about three weeks for information from Apple to
trickle down to them. The Apple release says that the
68851 PMMU chip is "currently available." Does anyone
have a ballpark figure on what such a chip costs/will cost?
