Hmmm seems to me it did have a 68000 chip though. >Maybe it was an 8088, 6502 and 68000. >Does anyone remember? I never actually used one, but I talked to a guy (turned out to be the president of the company, I believe) at an Atlanta Comdex. It had a 68000, a 6502 and a Z80. I was curious as to how they did all of the disk I/O stuff (it supposedly could run stuff like copy-protected Apple games). He said that the raw disk lines (read/write, motor on, etc.) are present on the bus, so that the Apple card had a real Apple disk controller on it, etc. Too bad it didn't go anywhere - good use could have been made of the 68000. I seem to recall it was quite expensive, however. -- Chris Gray alberta!ami-cg!cg or cg%ami-cg@scapa.cs.UAlberta.CA
