- Do that, and you lose all the old Sun 3s knocking around out there for cheap.
- Of course, supporting both the Sun 3 and the 68030 could be a pain in the ass,
- with the different MMU and all. On the other hand, I dont think it would be
- so hard to support the 020 and the 851 MMU if you were going to support the
- 030 -- isn't the 030 MMU just a subset of the 851?
