ROM slots may be a good idea in the long run-- no motherboard swap needed if apple makes the changes they're probably working on for newer OSs. Actually, the real advantage of the '030 is not to the customer, but to the manufacturer. They don't take up more board space to put an MMU in (or need to beef up power either). I also here that the '030's built in MMU kills a wait state that the '851 chip introduced when it was added. -dave falkenburg -- Dave Falkenburg @ University of Michigan Computer Aided Engineering Network Internet: falken@caen.engin.umich.edu UUCP: umix!caen.engin.umich.edu
