I'm a Macintosh owner looking for a MAC laptop. It appears that
Apple's new MAC will be a portable and not a laptop plus the $6k+ unit
cost is WAY to high.
As an alternative, the latest (Oct '89, page 51) MacUser suggests the
Atari + Spectre. They have a picture of Stacy and indicate that
Gadgets by Small's Spectre GCR plus MAC Plus ROMs will yield and MAC
Plus Laptop. I'd like to find out more about both products.
Can someone please rely with the details for both Stacy and Spectre
GCR. By details I mean
pointers to magazine articles
technical attributes (memory, size, weight, speed, drives, battery
info...you get the idea...)
availablity
costs
best discounters
Keep in mind that I know nothing about Atari products...just MACs
Thanks

| 596.2 | Spectre only uses 128K MAC ROMs | LDP::WEAVER | Laboratory Data Products/Science | Sun Sep 17 1989 19:22 | 4 |
Spectre uses the 128K ROMs, and not the 256K ROMs, which are used on
the newer MACs.

| 596.3 | IT REALLLY WORKS (STACEY PLUS GCR) | UKCSSE::KEANE | Mon Oct 02 1989 06:56 | 14 | |
Hi,
At the UK Personal Computer show, in London this weekend, the
distributor for Spectre, had a STACEY, Lap top st fitted with a GCR
plugged in to the cartridge port, running Aldolpus (sic) Pagemaker !!!!
IT LOOKED GREAT..... The LCD display is a little slow to update, i.e.
when you roll the tracker ball, the (mouse) pointer vanishes if you
roll fast, but generally it worked well!!!!!!
See my other note for ST presence at the show !
Pat Keane.
