[net.micro.amiga] Ranger to be Amiga 1000 Follow-on ???

star@fluke.UUCP (David Whitlock) (03/29/86)

Rumor has it that a new product from CBM called the 'Ranger' is due to
make its debut.  This is only a rumor heard from a few other developers on
the net... any truth.

For all the problems with the early release of software, it sure would have
been nice to have gotten the discount for the Amiga 1000 now.  It would have
soothed many a Guru Message from previous releases.  I hope my trust in the
Amiga from day one was worth not enjoying the discount....

I heard that to.  It is supposed to have a built in hard disk, the 68881
math co-processor, and a (gasp) different operating system.  Unix based?
or something like that.  I would like that to be true.  I like unix.  I
have really gotten used to the amiga though so this way I could get the
best of both world by buying both machines.  

I really don't know where my information comes from, probably the end
of the worst grape-vine in the world, however, it started to sound possible
when you mentioned that it was called Ranger, confirming at least part of
my rumor.

I will try to stick closer to the facts in the future everyone...
forgive me for my little out burst here.
