Subject: Re: SuperMicro - Dimension 68000

	For those of you who don't know, there is an article about this
	marvellous machine in the August (I think) issue of Computing Now!.

	What they describe is truely a great machine.  It can be just about
	whatever you want it to be.  Plug in a 6502 board and it is an
	Apple, moreso than a lot of the lookalikes/workalikes/clones etc.
	It supports all of the Apple calls to monitor routines (Also runs
	Zaxon which apparently the clones don't do so well).  Plug in an
	8088 and you have an IBM PC that runs like an IBM.  Or run the
	software that has been designed for it.  

	Obviously, you pay the price for this technology, you could buy an
	actuall Apple or IBM PC for less than the Dimension but of course
	then you wouldn't have the versatility.
