This has the 68020, a blitter and a better graphics chip giving 4096 colour pallette. It will run all properley written ST software, and proberbly be supplied with unix as well. (unix would not work well on just the 68000 without a lot more memory and hard disk) Simon Gordon Sibly Hall Reading University Reading
