     Just read an article from London England about the new macs.
It says that there are two new models due for release in March/April.
This coincides with the release of System 7.0. The code names are 
F-19 and K-19.

     K-19 is supposed to be based on a 16 MHz 030.  A scaled down
version of the IIcx with less on board stuff and 3 slots.

     F-19 (the IIxi) has a 50 MHz 030 "braked to" 33 MHz.  I would
assume that by braked they mean wait states.  This is needed to
maintain compatibility with applications and peripherals.  The claim
is that it will be 30-100% faster than the IIci.

     Apparently MacWeek has some news of these machines as well.
