I recently heard from some AT&T marketing types that the micros will be
introduced early next year.  One of them will feature a re-microprogrammed
68000 (the 3B2) processor and "a couple meg of storage."  
Soon after they hit the shelves as standalone
devices, I expect to see plug-in boards which will communicate directly 
with the AT&T System 85 and the up-coming Wide-band Premise Network (their
version of a local area network).

No one asked us to sign non-disclosure agreements, so if anyone wants to 
know more, please let me know by mail.
