Actually, by 86, the Mac was out, as was the PC/AT and (I think) the Amiga. These were much more capable machines than the Apple ][.
Also there was a Tandy Model B with a "6000" conversion which consisted of a 6030 (? might have only been a 6010 or so, I can't remember) -- anyway, it ran SCO Xenix. I got a used one in '88, and it was seemed a good bit faster than the 286 I bought in '87. Multiuser, true multitasking unix. Very cool machine. Kinda' funky graphics tho. I think there was a better graphics board that I couldn't afford at the time. -- Harmon Seaver, MLIS Systems Librarian Arrowhead Library System Virginia, MN (218) 741-3840 hseaver@arrowhead.lib.mn.us http://harmon.arrowhead.lib.mn.us
