CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1990 FEB 2 (NB) -- Apple Computer is expected to introduce a high-end Macintosh IIX in March called the IIxi. The 68030-based machine is expected to run at 33 MHz, according to MacWeek magazine, have a cache-card slot, direct memory access on the SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) bus, and special I/O processors. The machine is expected to have a 60 to 100 percent performance improvement over the IIci and will cost about $10,000. (Wendy Woods/19900202)
