Over in comp.sys.m68k there is talk of a 16 bit version of the 68030 or 68040 processor in the works. It would be plug compatible with a 68000. For all of us still hanging on to Mac Pluses or SE's, perhaps Apple now will offer the ultimate upgrade of them all: simply plug in a new CPU chip and you are guaranteed object code compatibility for system 7 onwards. My inquiring mind REALLY want to know. Could someone with reliable connections in industry check this out please? Many universities have room fulls of Plus and SE's, and they are not about to junk those just yet.
