	I guess this is the hottest time to strike.  I'm writing Motorola
tomorrow to ask about minimum orders and pricing of the 68851.  If I
can get enough interest from netters and other random Mac II owners
drooling over virtual memory, I'll order a minimum from Motorola and
handle the distribution, nonprofit.
	I'm hoping to get our end-price down to about $150-$200 this way.
Any takers?  Please e-mail, as this newsgroup is crowded enough.  I'll
post updates as events warrant.
