  The following is from the April 9 issue of "Electronic Engineering

Times":

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

   "Commodore International Ltd. released four new microcomputers.....

    The first new release is a Unix-based, 16-bit Z8000 computer system, with
256Kbytes of RAM, 80-column color graphics and built-in dual floppy-disk
drives.  The drives are surprises because initial indications were that the
company would produce an under-$800 single-drive machine."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

   I would guess that with 2 drives the price would be in the range of

$1000 to $1200.  Can't wait to get one!!
