That NEVER was a serious rumor after John Sculley's famous "18 months" remark (which *implies* Sep '89). >it? the one with the onboard SCSI interface, improved SHR (640x400 with >more colors per screen), more main and sound memory with empty sockets for >even more sound memory, and above all a faster speed (I think 7-8 mhz)?
