- Yep, my second A3000 is running with 4MB and 40MB VM.
- OK, the zips will be replaced to a 8MB-Jedec72 next week...
- it`s wasn`t fast but it worked well for me and my father (its my PC;-().
- Second problem is Cybergfx. It`s useless if there`s no VMM...the heap is
- trashed extremly fast...

- That`s not what I wanted to say...on one side there will be 603e/604 and
- on the other side ec030. Remember when A3000 got on market...

- What`s the difference of $67 and $100?...and what about later, when 060
- is really shipping...

- I wrote this text because I had a look into it...and got surprised

- Yep, sure...but if they need the mmu, they can get a real 060 or 040,
- or LC-Types if they like...nothing than changing the CPU...and adding ram.
- If I have a look at Cyberstorm...more than $400 (3Q95) for 68060...

- ;-) never really played one of these games...exept testing Marathon
- on ShapeS....no, really not! I`m playing 4-player-Lotus and Pinball,
- if there is time...don`t need PPC for Games...
