[comp.sys.mac.hardware] $$$ '040 accelerator cost $$$ ALSO an added feature

Brad Hathaway inquired about the cost of these accelerators.

When I called Total Systems, the gal I talked to said they were going to
retail at $2999, but through March they were having an "introductory offer"
of around $2000.  

Added feature:  Their product information (I just loooove 800 numbers, don't 
you?)  indicates that the Magellan has a processor direct slot on the board 
itself, so you can still add video or whatever.  (They had a name for it, but
it escapes me.)  Also, they said they've published the specs for this slot,
"to encourage the development of [slot name]."  I'm wondering: wouldn't this
second board have to pull the viscious u-turn to fit in an si?

See my next posting for what I'd like to see developers come out with.
