I don't remember there being any "sun3y" in those scripts. Craig Dewick <craig@zeta.org.au> wrote: >Argh!

Unless the 68040 machine requires a significantly different "hat layer" (MMU driver, essentially) from the 68030 machine, or had a significantly different I/O bus or PROM or something such as that, I would very *much* doubt that any planned 68040 machine (I seem to remember that the code-name "Hobbes" was originally intended for a 68040 machine, but that when plans to do a 68040-based Sun-3 were dropped, the code name was recycled for, I think, the IPX) would be called a "Sun-3y" rather than a "Sun-3x".
