The design called for a multitasking (!) machine with a slot that would allow the addition of a 68K processor card that would run Macintosh applications. Somewhere I have a white paper describing the project; I think that was about as far as it got. While the Apple IIGS design team would have had access to the original IIx information, everything about the Apple IIGS was a separate project. Mike Westerfield
