Go read an article in net.micro.trs-80 about TCBUG's (Tandy Computer Biz Users' Group) 's meeting with some Shack marketing brass. It was confirmed that Tandy is more interested in selling cut-rate PClones for MSDOS than in Motorola 68000 machines with XENIX. The Model 6000 (newer Mod 16) will be marketed for the rest of the year, but support is being cut back. Doesn't look very good for prospects of bringing out a CoCo III or Atari-ST class 68K box with OS9/68K. Tho neither of these notions were mentioned, this "let's-chase-IBM, the-hell-with-the-rest" attitude can't auger well for us color types. I got those Big Blues.... mike k
