     Gee.  They're only 1 or 2 years behind (68020 machines are already
on the market including Motorola's own 'Benchmark' and Gimix's 68020
OS-9 and Uniflex single board computer and their SS-50 bus 68020 systems--
these latter 2 machines run Virtual Memory versions of Uniflex or a
more "Standard" OS-9 68K.  At Comdex they were running Sculptor and
impressed a lot of people with their speed--oh, and of course Unix
is already available for the 68K's). ;-)
