Aucbvax.6252 fa.works utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!works Sun Feb 21 20:16:18 1982 Fortune 32:16 >From David.Anderson@CMU-10A Sun Feb 21 19:48:53 1982 The machine that Lars was describing sounds like the Fortune 32:16, a desktop system based on the 68000 that is being built by Fortune Systems Corporation in San Carlos, California. The basic system runs $5k, and includes 128k ram, 1Mb floppies, and an operating system "derived from Bell Labs proven Unix system." This is expandable to 1Mb main memory + 20 Mb winchester.

Given the memory size, sounds like no bit-mapped display. Has anyone used one of these? And what about the Wicat system? (Any one know if it has a bit- mapped display?)
