In case anyone missed it, there was an article in the
October issue of MINI-MICRO SYSTEMS, page 193-202 which
talks about the "charles river data systems" 68000
system, which uses a cache and the VERSAbus memory
for very fast operation. I think that they also have
their own TTL MMU which they need to allow the 16 and
12.5 Mhz 68000s run at full tilt.

Their unit, the Universe 68, model 05 comes with 5 1/4
winchester, 256Kb, 8-in floppy and is priced at less
than $10,000. It runs the UNOS operating system, a
UNIX/v7 lookalike. From their description, it also
has co-processors for I/O.
