I have heard a substantually similar rumour... I hadn't heard that apple had
officially announced the product, let alone was willing to show it
off though.
In brief: 25Mhz version of IIcx, 1 bit video card on motherboard
(using the main CPU). If you don't want to waste your CPU on video,
you could always buy a video card. Roumer had it that it would be
announced at Macworld Boston, but *I* didn't see one there.

see above.
