In the May 1991 UnixWorld review of A/UX 2.0.1 on a Macintosh IIfx I
noticed the following sentence: "What's more, Apple is likely to
introduce a 68040 Mac given it has already announced a 68040 server."
I don't remember hearing a product announcement for any 68040-based
systems from Apple. Did UnixWorld make this up, or did I miss the
announcement?

UnixWorld made it up, as they do with a lot of their other "inaccuracies"... like HP's new 400 series, which use Intel's [sic] 68040 processor. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Evan Torrie.

There was a recent MacWEEK article concerning Apple announcing that a new 68040 based server would be available later this year. There has been no official product announcement (as in "you can buy this now"), but Apple has made several public statements concerning a 68040 server in the wings. ------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Endres | time@ice.com ICE Engineering | uupsi!ice.com!time 8840 Main Street | Voice FAX Whitmore Lake MI. 48189 | (313) 449 8288 (313) 449 9208
