Enquiring minds want to know! Thanks! I believe that Commodore was at one time planning to release a VIC-40. Did anyone ever see a BX machine (a B machine with an 8088 coprocessor)? How about Commodore's 8" floppy drive (I've seen only one)? How about their Z8000 machine? -- UUCP: watmath!xenitec!zswamp!root | 602-66 Mooregate Crescent Internet: root@zswamp.fidonet.org | Kitchener, Ontario FidoNet: SYSOP, 1:221/171 | N2M 5E6 CANADA Data: (519) 742-8939 | (519) 741-9553 MC Hammer, n.
