HP announced a port of ME10 to 80386-based PC's earlier this year,
although I don't remember if they also announced shipment dates.  At
the time, they weren't sure if any other PCs could be supported, but
they weren't hopeful.

They also announced plans to make X-window versions of the ME series
drawing packages available at some point, which may also be of interest.
Certainly among existing Users, these plans have been known since about
the start of this year, so your local HP sales office should be able to
answer your questions.
