In the most recent Computer Design Magazine (August 1, 1986) on page
9 of the "Up Front" column they say:
"Apple Computer has approached Texas Instruments about using TI's
NuBus as the open-bus architecture for some of the Maxintoshes and
workstations that Apple plans to introduce late this year and at the
start of 1987..."
I hope this isn't so! The only people supporting the NuBus is TI and
LMI. On the other hand there are over 2500 companies producing VME
bus products. Using the NuBus is as smart as creating a closed
system and producing your own propriatary floppy disk format.
I pray that Apple uses the VME bus as their open systems approach.
