Are the 91 Series machines currently in production?  (Or can you say?)
I haven't heard anything at all or seen anything in the trade
press.  Personally, I think that a shared memory multiprocessor 88100
box would be ideal for heavy-duty engineering/scientific computing,
and with proper tools/compilers, it could very easily compete
in the mini-super market.
