I find this a bit curious since Commodore already has a Unix system
that they're selling; the Amiga 3000.  Not only that, but it's supposedly
the first box in the market *shipping* with System V Release 4 too. 
(and they didn't even announce it to the press *or* their customers!)

Curiouser and curiouser -- does anyone know what kind of CPU chip is
to be found inside the Amiga 3000?
