I got the sales literature from Connectix yesterday; we're expecting
the actual product next week.  In the fine print, their letter says,
"The software-only version currently being released is not designed
for use on the Mac IIx."  They plainly intend on doing a 68030
version, but it's not soup yet.

BTW, show prices were $495 for software + 68851 or $259 for software
only.  Too late now!  Regular prices (after 1/22/89) are $695 and
$295.

Hints about future releases:

"Can VIRTUAL use the extra memory installed on an expansion board?
Not in this release..."

"I have 2 hard drives.  Can I move VIRTUAL off my boot drive?  Not
with this release, however allowing virtual memory storage on volumes
other than the start-up drive is one of the planned upgrades."

Disclaimer: I have no connection with these folks other than as a
customer eagerly awaiting shipment.
