I have heard rumors (God I hate rumors) that TOS 1.6 would allow the STe to
work with an 68030 processor (and perhaps an 1040ST or Mega if outfited with
1.6).  I would like to know if any of the Atari reps here on the net could
comment on this.  I have a friend who works for a company who makes 68030
boards for 'other' computers who could have an '030 board out for the ST way
before another well publisized project (Hi Dave :-) ).  If this is not true, I
will have to convince them that they want to write the software to make it
compatable (how would you like to have you ST running at 40mhz?).
