I read from the newspaper that good old Data General is introduced
a new AViiON machine that is 115 MIPS.  And the machine is available
today (better than MIPS and Moto to introduce only their plans).

Can anyone tell us what the machine is all about?  Do they use a
few 88000's running in parallel?

They also claimed it runs UNIX and use disk arrays.
