Is it an acronym for something and, if so, what? Work Group System. It apparently signifies the network capabilities and family nature of the product line. The 6300 WGS is not the old Personal Computer 6300. It is a new physical design with new packaging, that fits better with the rest of the WGS products. It's still an 8086 processor, but the uProcessor is on an `expansion' board, and the `motherboard' is a passive buss. -- Dave Levenson Westmark, Inc.
