CMU has some microchannal PS/2's (model 60's, the 80286 variant) with an RT
coprocessor board installed in them.  They're installed in a public
Andrew cluster.

I don't know why they just didn't use the 80386 variant, since it might have
resulted in even better performance (Andrew/Mach could use the '386 for disk
and graphics, and crunch on the RT thing.)
