If the press reports are correct it appears that a Macintosh XL with built
in floppy AND 10 Mb hard disk is only $700 more than a 512K Mac with and
external hard disk. And you get a 12 inch screen. But does anyone
know just how compatible the Macintosh XL is with the smaller Macs. In
particular, does it now have the sound capabilities of the Mac and will
it run all software including heavily protected stuff like Macpascal? Can
it boot as a Mac off the hard disk?
