Steve,
Actually, I hope that we can prove you wrong here! Signetics (the manufacturer
of our CPU) is very agressive in its OEM pricing for its 68070. Plus, the GNU C
compiler has reportedly just been ported to OSK. We are evaluating the
possibility of offering this excellent public domain C compiler at cost. Of
course, we also need to look at just how solid the port is, and then justify
the person-hours involved in fulfulling sales.
So you may just be seeing a nice mid-priced computer system that blows away
most other systems, and with a pd C compiler that can match features with the
best!
Paul
