Anyone know who the 68040 vendors are? I've saw one ad for a
68040/25 accelerator in the July AmigaWorld. Is a 68040/35 being marketed
yet?
I believe that adds for 68040 accelerators may be a bit premature. I don't
believe Motorola is shipping 68040's as of yet.

NeXT has already announced they will be shipping 68040 NeXT machines
this Winter, so Motorola must have promised a release date.

That's true, Developpers are getting beta versions of the 68040 now but
won't be able to have the production run before fall… and maybe not
before chrismast! And also add to that the fact the the first versions of
those 68040 accelerators will probably have a couple of bugs in their
design so do not expect buying one of those before nest summer! That's my
point of view!

The 68040/25 hasn't even been released (officially) yet! People are
pre-announcing. Commodore is working on such a card for the A3000 (don't
know about the 2000), and it is a safe bet the GVP is also doing such a
card.

Sure hope there is one for the A2000 as well… Geez.. getting hard to play
'catch-up'… first I need an accelerator for the 2000, then I need to get
a 3000, and they're already talking about an accelerator for it! <grin>

Those guys who advertised an 68040 accelerator in thhe July Amigaworld have
even not finished the prototype board yet….! they don't even know if they
will be using autoconfig memory (<= 8 megs) or addmem memory (Up to 32
Megs). Be carefull with those adds in magasines.
