Some years ago I asked Saber about doing a 386 Unix version.  They stated
that the 386 was too slow; they said they had a VAXstation version,
using the MicroVAX II chip, and it was far too slow, so they vowed never
to do it on another slow platform again.

Since I spoke to them, the 486 has been released.  I wonder if they'd
reconsider now.

If not, I'd really be interested in an alternative.
