As a PS/2 model 80 owner, I have a few objections....... A. My 1 megabyte version came with enough memory to run five (5) operating systems: MS-DOS 3.3 XENIX (can you run UNIX on your 128k mac??) CP/M PC-MOS (a virtual 8086 os) QNX B. The next megabyte of memory cost me just $411 That works to be about 100 dollars per 256 K and thats with the board friends. C. With this memory I had all I needed to run OS/2. And kermit works just fine, including the vt102 emulator. D. I have a 1981 pc it runs the newest version of MS-DOS just dandy! allong with all of the associated programs. E. There are at least a dozen ways I could upgrade the machine this machine to run OS/2 if I wanted to. I don't want to. F. Finally, IBM would much rather have you by a newer machine than upgrade to a new one. Ask an apple rep how to upgrade your mac 128k so it will run the new apple multitasking os A/UX... Ask him how to up grade it so it will have a color screen.... using APPLE products. reply to me... unccvax!cbenda@mcnc.org decvax!mcnc!unccvax!cbenda /Carl
