The machine is called the Mac IIci. It has a 25MHz 68030 and a processor-direct slot for cache memory (Apple is not encouraging developers to develop any peripherals outside of cache memory for the slot, unfortunately; it would be nice if SE/030 cards would work... It also apparently has onboard oscillators for several monitor types, which should make video less complicated for this machine. Look through the past couple of MacWeek's for a more complete description. Its planned announcement date is the same as that of the Laptop, which is sometime in September. --Mike Disclaimer: I think that disclaimers are an incredibly sad statement about our society. Nonetheless, nothing I say here can or should be construed as having been said by anyone. Ever.
