- It`s not low cost...it`s very expensive due design...AFAIK
- and the 040 is used for emulation of the 030 bus. That`s no good for
- performance...as you can see.

- That`s TRUE but it was difficult to implement in the A3000 design...
- implementation in a new machine design would be the real way.

- No, that`s not all...its designed to handle an 68020...;-(((
