There were lots of projects at Apple that never made it off the ground.

When I was there in '88-'90 I remember seeing a few prototypes of their Mobius computer - an ARM-based system that emulated an Apple II much faster, and was (unfortunately) faster than a Mac II in native mode. It got canned before they ever got around to designing a case for it, but folks who had the prototypes kept them for quite a while.




Apple fixed the "faster than a Mac" problem by moving ARM into their first handheld, the Newton.
