To the best of my knowlege, and of my sources, the new Mac, called the
'Headless Mac' by some will be a 16 Mhz 68000 with one drive and built
in video. It will also have Apple II compatribiltity.  It will most
likely look like an SE with the top (monitor area) cut off.  You then
add the monitor of choice.  What those will be I don't know.
