	There was a short blurb about the new Sony workstations in
INFOWORLD (Feb 1, 1988 page 3, "AT DEADLINE").

	...Internally called the "Sun Killer," the NWS-841 will sport
two 16-MHz 68020 microprocessors, a 68881 math coprocessor, 8M of RAM,
a 286- MB floppy drive, six I/O ports, including an EtherNET
interface, one rep.  said.  The machine will sell for about $19,900.
Supported software will include BSD4.2, NFS, and X.

	The NWS-711 model is a diskless workstation that will sell for
$3,995.  Both systems will ship in March.
