- I also saw this thing at the 'atari messe' and talked some words
- with the person who has built it.
-
- In my eyes it's not fair to sell this system as a '60 MHz 68040'.
- Maybe 60 MHz is the internal clock speed. But one has to specify
- the _external_ clock rate, as well as the external data bus width.
- (The MC68000 is not a 32 bit machine). NeXT and others do this also
- this way.
-
- Beside of this. Is it true that the ST-Magazin will present this
- as a instruction to do-it-yourself?
