How much would it cost to build a 68020 based 2000+nice monitor that would equal or exceed a MAC II? In other words, can you get a MAC II scale machine out of a 2000 and how much would it run you? Which brings another question. I have been thinking for a while that the 500 would be an ideal entry-level X windows platform. For $700 or so you could build a reasonable X-windows device. These would probably sell (esp. to universities) like hotcakes. Now that i have Lattice 4.0 I am going to have a wing at the simple 'mfb' X device- after i get net: working (ha ha) that is! ron -- ron (rminnich@udel.edu)
