Didn't say anything about a 33MHz 68030, though that might be nice; but it did say an AMD29000 (I think-- at any rate, the processor in the Archimedes, I think) RISC coprocessor, rather than a Motorola 88000. Sorry about the vagueness, but this was a couple of weeks ago. If someone keeps old issues of these publications you could check the rumor columns at the back and back me up on this. -Antonio Romero romero@confidence.princeton.edu
