Has Phillips actually announced an 88K system product?
	(also, could somebody point me at something that talks about Phillips
	being a second soruce for 88Ks?  Is that true?)
As noted earlier, Encore is in Alpha, with production scheduled for 1Q91.
Unisys, although committed to 88K, has not yet announced a product.

Note that the ORIGINAL question was "commercially available systems":

US: DG, Motorola, Opus, Tektronix, Sanyo/Icon have been shipping for a while.
Japan: Omron is shipping an 88K-based workstation called "Luna".
Europe: Norsk Data (Norway) ships 88K-based servers.
