Yeah, they sure could have. Actually, in the Secret Weapons collection, the
machine I thought had a *lot* of potential was the CBM 900, their Z8001-based
Unix server. I am hellbent on acquiring one and slapping TCP/IP on it --
perhaps I could serve Secret Weapons from a 900 running Coherent UNIX, like
Applefritter runs from a Deep Dish ANS 300 :-) (Tip of the hat to Tom Owad.)
