For some more information, look at the March 86 issue of Nibble magazine.
I believe they devoted the editor's column to this issue.  Some very neat
ideas are put forth as to what this new compuer will have, including the
biggest thing (to me), compatible with the rest of the Apple II family, and
able to read data from the Mac through the UniDisk (3.5" disk) media.

My opinions are strictly my own, and no other company, person, or other
  sentient being can be blamed for them.

Paraphrase from Nibble Magazine, March 1986 issue, and they also have no
  ties with what little thought proccesses I have.
