I will work on lots of Lisp stuff and other CPU-bound projects next
quarter.  Instead of depending on the VAXs and Suns, I'd like to do
the projects on my A1000.  However, I realize that the 7.xx MHz 68k
will not provide sufficient horsepower.

Thus I think I've to power up my Amy a bit.  Questions:

-	What are the processor accelerators available for the A1000?
	And what are their prices?
-	Is the transputer available for the Amy?  Again, what is the
	price (for the basic model)?
-	I've heard about the Infinity Machine from MAST, but is it for
	real?

Please send your information / opinions via email to my account, I'll
be off-line for about 14 days and catching up with this newsgroup is
very time-consuming.  I'll post a summary of the suggestions /
information received.

Thanks in advance!
