This information was taken from MacWeek on February 8.  As usual, it's
not official, but it sure is interesting!

There are apparently plans to introduce a radically different kind of
Macintosh this summer.  Its code-name is Cyclone, but a lot of people
are calling it the Macintosh III.

- They will be a line of '040-based machines, including two desktop
  designs.  The high-end machine will probably run at 40MHz, have
  three enhanced NuBus slots and 8Mb RAM (expandable to 128Mb), and
  support up to 2Mb VRAM for 24-bit color on a 16" monitor.  The
  low-end machine will probably run at 25MHz, have 4Mb RAM (expandable
  to 68Mb), have one NuBus slot, and support up to 16-bit color on a 16"
  monitor.

- They'll incorporate a "totally new" true 32-bit architecture,
  support for Casper voice recognition, a built-in AT&T 3210 digital
  sound processor (DSP) for 16-bit digital sound, full direct memory
  access on all peripheral busses (supported in software this time,
  unlike the IIfx), a new high-speed serial port, integrated digital and
  analog video in/out, and a high-performance NuBus design.

No mention was given of what their prices might be.
