Well, I guess it would be tough for the Classic to use a PMMU since the
Classic is a 68000 machine as well. I never could understand the logic for
buying a classic. Technically, it's an SE except that there's no expansion
slot like the SE had. You'd simply get a better machine (and much cheaper)
if you bought a used SE. They're both 8 Mhz 68000 chips, with Max_RAM of 4
MB. The MIPS rating is identical, but the SE has an SE PDS slot, and the
Classic has nothing. Doesn't seem to add up to me.
