  14. Maybe I'm stupid, by why not put both a 68k-based processor and the
  15. Power PC Ic in.  You really wouldn't even need a "top of the line"
  16. 68k if you integrated the two well enough.  There are enough library
  17. calls for the Power PC to service that the speed would be there.  Not
  18. to mention *possible* benefit from concerency.  The "lower-end" 68k's
  19. don't really cost that much.
