Re: New Apple II (was Apple's next move ...)

If someone develops a 32 bit Apple II running at 20MHz with an 20Mhz
I/O bus, can you imagine how fast some of the software presently
written would run?  If the computer has a dedicated graphics
controller, the video could be almost completely off loaded from the
main CPU.  Sound would also not be taxing the main CPU.  With a Math
Coprocesser installed, one would have a very capable machine.  Yes, I
would be willing to spend $1500 bucks on one.  The most important thing
would be having a decent word processor (and perhaps some internet
software) for the thing when it was released.  Ken
