Yeah. It's called the ][gs.  Uses 3.5 disks like the //c+, allows
MS-DOS (I have a PC Transporter card from Applied Engineering in mine),
runs faster than a //c+ with AE's Transwarp GS card (on 8 bit software),
has better graphics, much better sound, and it runs 16 bit software.
Whether it is serious or not depends on Apple's future commitment
to the entire Apple ][ line.
