While at MacWorld in SF, a vendor mentioned something called MR-DOS. 
They were selling a 68020 coprocessor board, and they said that Apple
will be providing this MR-DOS which will operate as the software
interface to the board.  They said MR-DOS will be coming out very soon.

Could someone (preferably at Apple with knowledge of MR-DOS), please
describe what it is, what it does, and when it is currently expected
to hit the streets?

	thanks,
	phil...
