I saw the sales brochure that will be on dealer floors on Tuesday or Wednesday.
To add to what Chuck said, the screen is about 512 x 350 (or so) bit mapped.
The SONY drive is 400kb, and you don't need another controller to 
add the second one.  It comes with a
one-button mouse, of course.  Standard
software will be MACwrite (like Lisa's)
MACproject (ditto), and MACdraw (or something).  Later there will be a 
Multiplan with Mouse/Window enhance-
ments.  Now available at extra cost is
MACterminal.  The basic package will be
$2,500; an Imagewriter printer will be another $500.  I 
don't believe there are any parallel ports.  No language support, except for
a Microsoft BASIC with Mice/Window support.  They will be on dealer shelves the
day of the announcement.
