Lines: 30 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? ..Bob -- Bob Page, U of Lowell CS Dept. page@ulowell.edu ulowell!page "I've never liked reality all that much, but I haven't found a better solution." --Dave Haynie, Commodore-Amiga
