How high is up :) Steve Lincoln was passing out request forms
for MAPMAKER 3.0 at the recent Plant Genome meeting. Supposedly,
it will also be available from the Whitehead by anonymous ftp
(genome.wi.edu if I remember right).

Real 386 + coprocessor (as opposed to 386SX) and 486.

According to Steve, MAPMAKER on a 486/4Mb is about half the speed
of a SPARCII, which is not bad considering the price differential.
