Those sound like very worthwhile upgrades.  What I would really like to see
more than anything else is virtual memory, though.  You could put a memory
management chip on the memory expansion boards, or replace the 68000 with a
line to a board containing a 68000 with memory management.  Probably the
former would be preferable.  This would enable the Mac to run 4.2bsd,
although the porting effort would be significant.  If it could be done under
$2000, you would have a guaranteed market here at C-MU, since all students
will soon be required to obtain a cheap 4.2bsd workstation (which one is
under discussion) to hook up to the VICE network in early 1986.
