Yes, it is being marketed this way for the Mac and IBM clones. But there is
something else. Tim Jenison (NewTek president) was recently quoted to say
that their goal was to produce a stand-alone Toaster for under $1000. They
plan on achieving this end by incorporating pieces of the Amiga into the
new "black box" toaster. I have heard they have already done some negotiations
with Commodore to create this product.
