There are also a number of vendors (Force comes to mind) manufacturing VME boards carrying 88K processors. I've used an Opus "Personal Mainframe 8000" and it's not a bad Unix box. It's surprisingly fast, given that it's a coprocessor board in a stock PC/AT clone. I can't (currently) say anything about any other 88K systems. -- Jerry Callen jcallen@encore.com Claimer: If it isn't obvious from the address, I work for Encore Computer Corp.
