I remember seeing a 68030 based MacIntosh laptop.  I wonder what kind of 68030 chip it used (a more energy efficient one, I would imagine).

I second (third? fourth?) the suggestion that some enterprising soul resurrect the design of one of the out-of-production 060 cards.  Amiga users would lap this up, even if it was just a straight-forward re-issue of the original design.  If it was a slightly updated design, with newer chips that performed the same function (perhaps even faster) it would be a real seller!

(Just make sure there is an A3000/4000 version so I can get one!).
