The //x was a staffed project at Apple a couple of years ago, but was eventually shelved. After the continued strength of the // line (the Mac didn't kill it), Apple decided to restart a similar project, which ended in the //gs. The biggest difference that I know of is that the //x was supposed to be both //e and Mac. compatable. The //gs certainly is not. There have been several articles in A+, Byte, Call A.P.P.L.E. and others that detail the history of the //x and the //gs. -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplcen!osiris!eric
