In my last posting asking about reviews/opinions on accelerator
cards for the A2000, I forgot to ask whether anyone heard whether

While reading the December 21, 1989 Computing Canada issue, the
'Special Report' dealt with Motorola, and its 68040. To excerpt:

"The 32-bit 68040, announced in March 1989, featuring more than
1.2 million transistors on a single piece of silicon, and complete
compatibility with the 68000 family..."
