Kind of hard to have a 68030 without an MMU, since it is built into the 
chip.  68882's at 16MHz are available to the public at round $250.  You
have to know that Apple gets better prices than that.  FDHD shouldn't cost
to much more than the normal drive.  It wouldn't be so profitable to 
market a machine that cost Apple almost as much as a IIcx but not be able
to charge so much for it.  Also, I understand that Apple gets their 030's
at '020 prices through a special deal with Motorola. 

Warning - everything after the second line is pure supposition.
