I read both the InfoWorld and MacWorld articles: I think this is how the new
models are supposed to appear:
1) Mac IIcx, released ~ April, basically a Mac IIx with only three slots.
This seems to be a lot more solid than a rumor.
2) Mac ??, InfoWorld's rumored super-duper Mac IIx, with DMA, a
faster-than-16Mhz-68030, a faster NuBus, etc. This is a rumor, but
InfoWorld gave a pretty specific accounting of what was going to be in
it.
3) Mac Laptop. According to Mac the Knife in MacWeek, there's been a
struggle between a 68000 version which is just about ready to go, and a
lighter 68030 version that is still under development. Sculley's claim
that a laptop will be out by this summer seems to indicate that the
68000 model is going to be the winner here.
On another subject entirely, it's a pity that Apple decided not to call the
Mac SE/30 the Mac SEx.
