Mt Xinu announced a 386 Mach at USENIX.  They're calling it "2.6" according
to the vendor-exhibit material, so I would expect that to be a version that
still has UNIX support inside the kernel.  The UNIX-outside-kernel version
O do!ksdicdicromtutgcat7.0c.coo I ho .pr the 'y  mach ) is 3.0; I don't believe the
386 version  do!that is available outside CMU yet.

The vendor info also said that Mt Xinu was demo-ing the 386 Mach, although
I didn't stop off to see whether that actually happened.  Anyone see it for
sure?  But be that as it may, it looks like they're serious a the t Mach.
