- Hmm. I recall there were LC parts too in the 3.3v section.
- Anyway, do you think a low-end machine should have a MMU?
- I dont think it is needed, since when PPC Amigas are released
- they can make a new low-end model with a PPC CPU.

- Please explain why a cheap low-end system with a 040
- would be much more expensive than a 030 system?
- The price difference between 030 and 040 is not too
- much, so the reason must be something else. What?
