I have a blurb from Pinnacle Systems, Dallas Texas (214-340-4941),
advertising the following for $4995:

	12 Mhz 68000
	512 K RAM (no wait state)
	20 Mb hard disk
	Un*x System V
	MOSYS Modula-2 based development package,
		including native code compiler
	P-System

Does anyone have experience with this system, or with Pinnacle?
A couple of things make me suspicious: (1) they claim that
a 12 Mhz 68K is a 3 MIP machine; (2) an MMU
is a $500 upgrade, but 68010 is not mentioned, nor do they
say what this means in relation to the Un*x port.
