Message-ID: <33336@nigel.ee.udel.edu> Date: 13 Oct 90 06:01:26 GMT Sender: mmdf@ee.udel.edu Lines: 28 Hello, I have a peer that has been telling me about a new system to be coming out soon that runs OS/9. It has/or is going to have a windowing type inter- face. It will have a 256 color display at some fairly high resolution out of a total palette of 16 million colors. I have no idea about the sound capabilities, but it probably will be 8 bit if not 16 bit sound. The name escapes me at the moment. He says this fully multitasking/windowing wonder will retail about $1000 including the monitor among other things. It is supposedly running a 68070. I have neither heard nor seen anything about such a system, but he keeps insisting that it will be released soon. The last time I talked to him, he said that it would be coming out next month. It is supposed to come decked with 8 megs and a hard disk (I think). What I am wondering is this just an unsubstantiated rumor or is is to be a reality? If so, it could really knock Amiga down the graphics list. He also stated that the target market of this wonderbox is going be the multimedia market. Any info would be appreciated... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ======================================================================= ||NeXT- (nekst) N.
