	I'd like to stimulate some discussion on this list about
people's experiences with UNIX on the 68000.  Good or bad.  Performance,
reliability, viability in the commercial environment, etc.  

	Measurements on Fortune's 32:16 (runs at about 5.6MHz) seem
to put it about in a league with a PDP 11/34, performance-wise.  This
is with a DMA 5.25" Winchester as the root/swap media.  If there are
some benchmarks available generally, it would be interesting to
run them on a variety of 68K-based machines.
