Subject: New Macrotech CPU
The pricing for the MI-286 board (I prefer to call it the Oakland Raider
or the Mach2) is tentatively set for $1395 (less than I thought it would be),
with an additional charge of $650 (ouch) for inclusion of an 80287. This
board will be supplied with 6MHz CPU's; it is designed to work with an
8MHz 80286 when they become available.
A major market for this board is to breathe some new life into MP/M-816
systems, so you can be sure that it will be designed as a drop-in
replacement on such systems.
