Does anyone know of any company which is currently making an 020 plug-in board with hardware MMU (say, a 68851)? i have checked with CSA, and they say that while they might someday have such a product they sort of have their hands full right now. It might just be that the 040 gets out before anyone gets around to this. Please don't let this start another war over whether hardware memory management is necessary for application X. For me, it is, since i don't want potentially buggy programs in some processes writing on programs in other processes and i don't want to swap 4 Meg out disk at every context switch just to be on the safe side. Even if you have heard rumors of such a board, i would like to know about it. Thanks. -neville ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ U.S. Mail: Neville D.
