to the best of my knowledge, no, neither rmb/ws nor rmb/ux will run on
the 700's or 800's.  

although i dont have any inside info, my guess is that the workstation
version of rmb will _never_ run on anything other than series 200's
and 300's.  the rmb under unix will probably not run on anything other
than the 300's and 400's for a _long_ time.  too many of the internal
structures of rmb have embedded 68000 instructions in them to make the
porting easy.


if you find out otherwise, please let me know.  i would be interested
in it also.
