Summary: Commodore 900, Anyone?


Hi Gang,

	I was wondering if anybody has actually seem the ephemeral
Commodore 900.  There was a tantalizing little bit aobut it in Byte
magazine almost two years ago.  I've heard that it is avilable in
Canada anr/or Europe.  The dealer where I got my Amiga claims that
he actually saw a 900 at a Commodore marketing meeting.  He also
gave me a glossy page that had a photo of the machine and official
corporate logo.

	Here's a brief synopsis of what is on the ad flyer:

	The Commodore 900 has a Z8001 CPU with room for up to 2 meg
on the motherboard and up to 16 meg total address space.  A 1.2 meg
floppy is standard and either a 10-, 40-, or 67-, meg fixed disk
is also included (depending on option).  Certain configurations
include an RS-232C expansion board that can accomodate up to 8
users.  A hardware MMU is included.
	One version of the console screen goes up to 1024*800
pixels with a 72MHz bandwidth (monochrome) monitor.
	The operating system is "Coherent" which is the Mark
Williams Unix work-alike that is supposed to be compatible with Sys
III.

	O.K., I was totally taken in by the Amiga and love it.  I'm
ready with my next stack of cash.  How soon can we get one?
Please, please?...
