Hey, you left out the Acorn Risc Machine.  Not a big name in the
workstation market, but I understand that they sell a good number of
them, and the instruction set is "interesting" (a bit-twiddler/
superoptimizer's wet dream, if you ask me, but probably "risc" by many
definitions of the term).  VTI sells this chip in the US, they should
be able to give you a spec if you want it.
