From what I have heard, the 900 uses the Coherent Operating System
(from Mark Williams, Inc., I believe).

I think it was more of a lap-top-128.  I don't think it was not going
to be 64 compatible.  The BASIC was to be downward compatible from BASIC 7.0,
accepting all of its commands, but not executing those that had to do with
such things as color and sound.

Enough of my piece-meal, third-hand information.  These are questions that I
hope Commodore will answer.  I was also very interested in both of these
machines.

To add another question:  Commodore, is there any chance that you will make a
portable Amiga?  (PortAmiga? :-))

Since I do not have any connections with Commodore (other than owning an Amiga,
and a two Commodore 64's before it, and convincing several people to buy
Amigas and ... well, you get the point ) the above information is subject to
several abberations, like, for example, being completely wrong.
