MAC week had an article on new product announcements. It said a new 25MHz IIcx unit may come out this summer at about the same price as the current IIcx model. Does anyone know more about this?

All I know is that there are rumors of an AMD 29000 RISC chip being used as a graphics coprocessor, DMA (direct memory access) technology being used for SCSI speedup, and that the whole logic board was redesigned to take advantage of the 25 MHz 68030. A 33 MHz version is rumored to be scheduled for early next year. Maybe by the April Macworld Expo in San Francisco (ugh)... --- Alex Standard disclaimers apply. Standard .signature not available.

Just to keep rumors straight -- I think you're confusing the 25MHz 030 machine that's reported to be coming out this fall (main features: 25MHz 68030 and it's own 8-bit video card (built-in?)), which seems like a sure thing, and the so-called "NeXT-killer", that has tons of on-board hardware features like DMA and the RISC chip for QuickDraw. No one's been hinting about when that might be out; if it turns out to be reality, I'd be surprised to see it before the tail-end of 1990. Maybe when 8.0 gets out...
