Why would that be an urban legend ? At that time a //Gs system was worth 500.00. I had just sold a //gs with the internal Vulcan hd upgrade and ram upgrade to the University of Superior's computer department for $1200.00. I may still have a printout of the German company wanted ad in my papers somewhere. Apparently the 68618 processor was capable of running their software through the Gs sound chip well enough to make buying the //Gs logic boards viable. I remember the Southdale Mall in Minneapolis had shopping kiosks in the mall's public areas to help their customers look at what the Malls stores offered. These kiosks were using the Mac //Vx to operate their software. When the kiosks were not used enough One of my friends salvaged these kiosks and tried to resell the Mac //Vx computers and ended up trashing them as nobody wanted them . Apple and Macintosh computers were used in a lot of strange places where the Ibm pee-cee couldn't do the job. My hat is off to Apple.
