According to what I've read (here? magazines?), the 68851 PMMU is the upgrade
path for the original Mac II. Some say it doesn't have the same performance,
which we probably wouldn't notice in most Mac software. However, the point
in my case was why buy something I'd have to upgrade in a year; why not just
be ahead of the game for once, as one of my repliers put it.
