- While I haven't seen PMMU's directly sold for the LC, one company in the Sep.
- issue of MacUser was advertising this thing called the EqualizerLC, which is
- basically a 030 accelerator (w/ or w/o FPU). Now since every 030 should have
- PMMU built-in, that may do the trick.
-
- As for running A/UX, I doubt the LC have enough disk space or speed to digest
- that kind of powermonger. Virtual memory will slow things down even further,
- but if 10 megs of RAM is not enough..
