km@mathcs.emory.edu (Ken Mandelberg) (12/08/90)

Is there any info on when 68040 upgrades will ship, say for those
ordered a while back now?

For that matter, what about some poor sap like me who just ordered 
System 2.0 and the 040 upgrade yesterday (12/6/90) ???

Answer: Don't start checking your mail box for this one for 6 weeks
at least.  Probably more like Feb. 1 or so.  Production of upgrade
boards has just barely gotten underway and the rather slim supply of
68040's is being heavily directed toward the NeXTstation platform
right now.  At least that is what I heard 2 weeks ago.  I believe
68030 cubes are still being produced and NeXT doesn't even have many
of the new style cube "face plates" as yet.  So enjoy the holidays.
