It is a well-known "secret" that IBM has developed a UNIX workstation
around a VLSI processor based on the 801 architecture.
It is also known that CMU has one or more of these workstations
behind closed doors.
Everybody who has direct contact with this machine has to sign
a non-disclosure agreement so official info about the machine
and its announcement date is hard to find.

If there is anybody out there who has not signed the non-disclosure
agreement but has information or even rumors about the quality
of the machine and its expected release date, I would be
interested in hearing about it.
