 > The 68340 and 8-meg Ram were purchased at COCOfests, the software is
available here and/or on the Delphi OS9 forum, plus at least one ftp site.  The
68340 upgrade turns the machine into an "MM/1a".

Still the old Tandy CM-8, with a Magnovox for a backup.  That is one of the
things that the SVGA machines can do better.  Ghostscript on my MM/1 is pretty
slow compared to the Linux version on my 486.  I can see a whole page of
Postscript on the MM/1 screen, but anything under 12 point type is a blur.

There is a new machine out, being called an MM/1B by some, that will use a VGA
card and monitor.  Should be capable of better graphics with the right card and
drivers.  It also uses IDE hard drives. I think the basic motherboard goes for
about $400.

  For the REAL details on the new machine, and what is available
  for the MM/1, EMAIL

 > Sure - post an offer here.  If you like, I will tack it on the Delphi OS9
forum for you too. - Maybe on the COCOLIST also. I can't guarantee it will
sell, but I can assure you that there are still a lot of COCO users around, and
some of them are looking for a bigger OS9 machine (if the price is right GRIN).
