Stop! Stop! Do you want us all begging for Merced? %-)....

Brain-fade. I must've meant MPE/IV. But if I meant that, how did the
board die? Maybe there was *going* to be a Series IV, and then the
hardware flew off in all different directions? Maybe they even called it
that to begin with and changed their minds?

You'll be telling me next that you've never heard of the HP Viceroy PC
or the Microsoft Cirrus database. Just two of the names that never made
it out of marketing, but stayed in the manuals for the 'real' products
through inadequate search-and-replace.... :-)
