Hate to tell you this, but there are many more Unix systems that run on 680x0s
than just the 3B1 series - the NCR Tower series, for example.

I don't have a real strong opinion here, except to note that there are other
groups that name one machine, but cover others compatible with it - c.s.ibm.pc
and c.s.apple2, off the top of my head. A comp.sys.[att.]3b1 would include
the CT and Motorola compatibles just fine. (I didn't even _know_ there was
a Motorola 3B1-compatible box.)
