Message-ID: <87@mot.UUCP> Date: Thu, 24-Jan-85 11:19:36 EST Article-I.D.: mot.87 Posted: Thu Jan 24 11:19:36 1985 Date-Received: Mon, 28-Jan-85 07:00:51 EST References: <262@vax2.fluke.UUCP> Organization: Motorola Microsystems, Phoenix AZ Lines: 19 [] Computer Systems News for this week indicates that Atari, Commodore, ACT, and Apricot (ACT USA) have all signed up for GEM. Moreover, GEM and Concurrent DOS are being readied, the article continues, for licensing by anybody for about anything. [Shades of Unix?] The story then says Atari's business machine will be based upon the 68020. This is the first public reference I have seen on this, and it is stated quite positively. Considering the previous press items suggesting it would be Series 32000 based, it looks like the rumor mills are about balanced between the two, now. -------------------- Fred Christiansen, Motorola Microsystems, 2900 S Diablo Way, Tempe, AZ 85282 {allegra,ihnp4}!sftig!mot!fred {ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!oakhill!mot!fred {ihnp4,amdahl}!drivax!mot!fred ucbvax!arizona!asuvax!mot!fred -- -------------------- Fred Christiansen, Motorola Microsystems, 2900 S Diablo Way, Tempe, AZ 85282 {allegra,ihnp4}!sftig!mot!fred {ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!oakhill!mot!fred {ihnp4,amdahl}!drivax!mot!fred ucbvax!arizona!asuvax!mot!fred
