It seems that there are more Snakes that HP are about to let loose soon.
The following are excerpts from articles publishe in 'Unigram.X'.

No. 334, May 20-24, 1991:

  "Not content to rest on its laurels, Hewlett-Packard is said to be
  readying an entry-level, 25 MHz, Motorola-based workstation rated at 22
  MIPS that'll come in under $5,000--and if that wasn't enough, the firm
  is also reported to be working on a low-end version of its recently
  launched Series 700 Snakes priced at under $10,000 and performing at 110
  MIPS: it's dubbed the Bushwhacker, according to 'Electronic News'."

No. 334, May 20-24, 1991:

  "... And Sources at Hewlett-Packard say the low-end version of its
  recently launched Series 700 Snake, tipped to do 110 MIPS at under
  $10,000, (UX No 334), is exceeding all expectations in the labs; it's
  presently codenamed Bushmaster -- not Bushwhacker as originally reported
  -- though the same sources say that they liked the name so much they'll
  be trying to get it adopted officially!"
