I happen to know that Commodore is about to unveil a parallel (up to
24 processors) 68030-based machine at AmiExpo in LA, runs Berkeley
UNIX, System V, MINIX, OS/2 and MS-DOS, VMS, AOS/VS, PRIMOS, MAC/OS
and C-64 in windows (the windows can be Display Postscript, X, GEM,
Windows, Presentation Manager, NeWS, Apollo's DM, Sun Windows or
Intuition), has built-in 9600bps modem, Ethernet, 128MB main memory,
16 serial lines, two MIDI in/out/sync's, 4 configurable parallel
ports, 6GB ESDI disk storage, built-in optical disk (CDI-ROM) player,
floppy, mouse, keyboard, digitizer tablet, DWIM (Do What I Mean) AI
interface, 24 blitters (one per plane), 32MB CHIP mem, 4k x 4k
resolution screen, PAL/SECAM/NTSC and HDTV composite out, genlock,
frame store, digitizer, 100 watt stereo amplifier, 64-voice
synthesizer with any/all of FM/PM/Subtractive/Additive/Linear/Vector
synthesis, 128MB/s Zorro III bus (with adaptors for VMEbus, NuBus,
MicroChannel, UNIBUS, MultiBus 1 & 2, Q-BUS, Zorro I & 2 and BI-BUS).

Oh - you can also take your existing A500 or A2000 and stand it on end
in the expansion box (on its expansion slot), so it can also be used
as a co-processor.

Fits on your desk (about the size of the MAC SE, but the expansion
box and power supply must go under your desk) and costs US$1299.

I guess my first question: is anyone working on a TOS emulator?
