- There's no place to plug them in. The A2000 and A3000/A4000 coprocessor slots
- are totally different animals.

- That's very impractical. Such a system would run considerably slower than a
- stock A500, since the 68000 to 68030 bus conversion is inherently inefficient.
- Not only that, but the 68000 couldn't get to a number of A3000 resources, such
- as Fast RAM. And it wouldn't necessarily be all that cheap, either.
