Are these actually available now? I was under the impression (from reading InfoWorld or PCWeek) that the '040 had been delayed again until late October or early November. I wonder when we'll be seeing a 68040 board for the 3000?

The chips should be ready before then, but unless NeXT is either blessed or completely insane, I'd guess there will be some delay in getting the (at least Alpha-tested!) boxes out the door to customers. -- >>"Aaiiyeeee!

The NeXTstation is bundled with a lot of useful apps, networking software and hardware, and Mach. I'm not the average consumer, but bundling Unix is enough to make me look really hard at the NeXTstation. If I knew I could buy Amiga Unix at a _reasonable_ price some time in the future, I would reconsider the 3000, since I have a considerable investment in the native Amiga environment. But until then, thumbs down on the 3000. Actually, protected virtual memory for AmigaOS would be enough to keep me from jumping ship, but then again, I've had a lot more Amiga experience than the average person about to choose between a 3000 and a NeXTstation. :-) (If GNU was further along, that would do it too. :-/ ) Jay Carlson nop@gac.edu "Excuse me--I'm just trying to find the _bridge_.
