He will be lucky to find one for $1000. Then he will have to figure out what to do with it. There are no boards for the 1000 or any other Amiga that use the 68040 (yet). In addition, the 68040 does not need a floating point chip (68882). It has a floating point unit built in. I think your friend wants a 68020 (my guess). But you'd better ask him, because I don't think he is certain of what he really needs right now. -- _. --Steve ._||__ DISCLAIMER: All opinions are my own.

I agree with the followup poster, he probably wants a 68020. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do memory page swaping to flopies, I said, yes we can do that, but you haven't lived until you see our machine do swapping over a 1200 Baud modem line, and keep on ticking. ..uplherc!wicat!sarek!gsarff
