- Anybody know the specs on the IIvi for those of us who aren't priveleged enough
- to be able to afford MacWeek?
- Is there a price range set yet or any speculations out there?
- Will apple be dicontinuing some of their models like the IIsi?
- How many slots (NUBUS or processor direct) are in these machines?
- How much memory will they be shipped with?
- How do they fit into apple's lineup, performance wise?
- Will apple keep the sound-input idea?
- What type and how many expansion ports will they have (ADB,SCSI, etc.)
- Will the CD Rom drive be in addition to a Hard Drive and floppy?
- What size of Hard drive will be available?
-
- Just a bunch of questions from a poor college student
