PSK8 provides additional process support for the 400t and 425t (and
presumably the 400s / 425s / 433s).  However, you can not have PSK8
and PSKQ2_91 on the same machine.  PSKQ2_91 gives support for X11-R4
and for the CD-ROM.  (I.e. Mentor customers can't use PSK8, since they
need CD-ROM support.  They also can't use the 425t, though....)

If you want both PSKQ2_91 (X11R4, CD-ROM support, etc.) and more
processes, then obtain PSK8X.

Choose one of two install plans:

   1. SR10.3 + pskq2_91      = X11R4 + CDROM + Security and Bug Fixes for 68030

   2. SR10.3 + psk8 + psk8x  = 68040 + X11R4 component of pskq2_91

CDROM support only comes from pskq2_91, a 68030 only release.
