Yah, not much, but interesting anyway: For example, you can buy CoCo-3 clone cards which can be ganged up as multi-processors/peripherals in a 680x0 accessible bus. And quite a few of the OS9/6809 crowd are finally going to move up to OS9/680x0 computers. > Maybe apple could show Radio > Shack how to market, and Radio Shack could show apple how to > engineer computers. The Amiga slant to this message is: too bad CBM doesn't have the "store next to each MacDonald's" sales outlets that Tandy does. And conversely, it's too bad Tandy never brought out a home 68K machine. Now they've gone fully Intel, and it's a pity. sigh - kev [Architect of the sidelined CoCo OS-9 ver 3.0 upgrade...
