Apple Johnathon & Apple Macintosh II: Seperated at birth?

I have read something at applefritter that intrigued me: that Apple was thinking about marketing a system known as the "Johnathon" (Successor the the Mac, perhaps?). The basic design was very similar to that of an Acorn RISC PC: You bought the base "module" (What OS that run? Mac OS?) as it was called, & you could buy additional modules that would allow you to run other operating systems. Unfortunately, Apple canned this computer because they thought that everybody would just buy the MS-DOS module. My question is: Was this the original concept for the Mac II, or is this something completely diffrent. ____________________________________________________________ David Vohs, Digital Archaeologist & Computer Historian.
