At least the *timing* when the announcement appeared was directly related
to the Q40. Goldfire specs had been announced before the Q40, so looking
from outside it seemed to be targeted at the Q40 in the first place.
Especially as there has just appeared a working Q40 prototype, what can not
be said about the Goldfire.
68040 -> 68060
Multi IO -> Super IO
SIMM socket -> SIMM socket
audio -> improved audio
no multiproc. -> multiproc.
All this does not only compete to the Goldfire but also to the Q40. Who
would care about a 68040 machine invented by a *nobody*, if *Miracle* comes
up with a 68060 machine?
