	On a different note (that is, somethign other than NS486), 
	has anyone considered that NeXT ought to do a quickie port
	of NS486 to the Amiga (the A4000 is 68040, and there are
	a number of 68040 A3000's...) and to the Mac (the 
	Quads).. 

	I can't imagine that such a port would be terribly 
	difficult--_especially_ the port to the Mac.  

	Maybe a port to the Atari (ha ha ha) Falcon (it does, 
	after all, have a DSP on board).. 

	This would seem to me to be a quick and easy way to 
	increase the possible market share for NeXT, and given
	that the a Mac 950 is not all to different from
	a station (but with better video options) and is
	about equal in price range (i.e. not going to cause the
	NeXT-hardware-sales death that NS486 will)--it would
	seem to be a very logical path to take.

	The Amiga?  Well, the video hardware there might actually
	halp make up for some of the speed problems of NS3.0...

	How long could it take?  A few months?

	Anyone?
