From the BMUG rumor mill, I heard that the computer described above
will be called the "Mac //ex", not the //cx, and it will not have the
56001 DSP.  However, it will have at least a 25 MHz 68030 (if not
33 MHz) and the talk in the back row was that it will be Apple's
NeXT-basher.

Disclaimer: I call 'em as I see 'em.
