Computer System News for Dec 17 indicates that Jack Tramiel has announced
the ST130, a 68000-based system under $400 to compete with the MacIntosh.
The operating system (supposedly called TOS, Tramiel O.S., but I have my
doubts that it will be marketed that way) was developed with Digital
Research.
	That's what the article said.  A little short on specifics.  But
guessing from the ubiquitous GEM showings at Comdex, I suspect that this
is the MacIntosh-like interface involved.  The OS is, then, likely to be
related to CP/M or Concurrent DOS.

Boy that'd be nice!  Where does the line start?  If its a 68000 for 
under $400, I don't care if it dosen't have ANY operating system!
Gimme Gimme!
