We have been seeing adds for the ultimate system for the last few months,
and I am wondering if anyone has taken delivery. I think we are about to
order one, quoted delivery end January, so I may be able to offer an opinion
in February. For anyone who hasn't seen the ads, try Byte: company is Micro
Craft Corp. It has 68000 processor, and emulator cards for Apple (with 6512
chip on it), CP/M (with Z-80 chip), IBM (with 8086 chip) & CP/M-68 or UNIX
for the 68000. The question of course is how good the emulations are.

I saw a Dimension at Comdex. It appears to be a very good machine and does
appear to be compatible with the Apple
and IBM. I watched them run some
protected software for both machines.
The machine also has the ability to
read multiple disk formats and to
copy disks from one format to
another. I was very impressed.

I saw their booth at COMDEX. They had systems in operation, but I didn't have the time to see a full demo. Phil Burton Fortune Systems, Redwood City, CA 415 595 8444 x 526
