Just another idea for use of the spare '030 in the Amiga. There is a lot
of CPU wasted to run the bit-mapped graphics display when running
X-Windows, open-look, etc. The '030 could run dedicated display
software and be sent messages about what is to be displayed.
(almost like having the '030 acting like an X-terminal in the same
box.)
Then the '040 could do the actual work.
Just an idea...
