I've heard rumors that IBM is coming out with a RISC machine.  I've also heard
that this is their Unix workstation.  I've also heard that it's based on
the 801.  (Boy, I've heard a lot, huh?)  Anyway, I just heard, which should
be read that it's scuttlebutt, not gospel....  Disclaimers aside, what can
you all tell me (and the net) about the 801?  What happened to it?  Did it
make to production?

Just curious,
