Since Ultima V was written here in Austin by Origin, I contacted a friend
who works there, who had this to offer:

Yes, Ultima V exists.  If you are interested, 2 of the 4 disks (a total of 8
sides) have gone into production as of today (2-16-88).  The other two should
follow shortly.

The apple version will be available within about 2 weeks.
The commodore and IBM versions are well under way and should be available
 by early to mid summer.
The Mac version has been begun, but no available date, as it is still in early
 stages.
The GS version is also under way, and should, likewise, be available around
 early to mid summer.

That's the scoop...  other machines may be supported, but I have no information
on them at present.

Max

=======================================

The last I heard, he was the one who might be heading the GS version, but that
info is at least a few months old.
