It is a RISC based laptop which emulates 80x86 and 68000 with their
own software made by a San Diego based company. Info obtained from an
industry weekly. It also runs UNIX/X window. It claims it doesn't have
a legal problem with Apple on their emulation of Mac, didn't say how.
It is not selling yet.
