The machine that Lars was describing sounds like the Fortune 32:16, a desktop
system based on the 68000 that is being built by Fortune Systems Corporation
in San Carlos, California.  The basic system runs $5k, and includes 128k ram,
1Mb floppies, and an operating system "derived from Bell Labs proven Unix
system."  This is expandable to 1Mb main memory + 20 Mb winchester.

Given the memory size, sounds like no bit-mapped display.  Has anyone used one
of these?  And what about the Wicat system?  (Any one know if it has a bit-
mapped display?)
