from San Jose (CA) Mercury News (Bits & Bytes) 4/10/91:

"... the company is doing something concrete to build up its 
sales.  A Next source said company engineers are hard at work
on the new Next machine, which will be based on Motorola's
yet unannounced 88110 RISC microprocessor.  The good news
is the new computer will be a screamer in the $8,000 to
$10,000 range.  The bad news: Software written for the
current Nexts won't run on the new one, since they use another
Motorola microprocessor family.  A simplified software
conversion program is planned, however."
