Sure seems reasonable to me. The CPW of the span of the two lines are
comparable and although today the Model 170 is a single-processor, don't
expect it to say that way for long. Disk spaces and slots may the Model
170's (as it exists today) big stumbling block (the Model 170 only supports
85mb--what's the 600 do there?)

I'd bet a night with a drunken cheerleader that IBM ultimately scales the
Model 170 (and the form factor it represents) out the wazoo!
