The 88000 I have is in a NCD 88k X-Windows Terminal. The MIPS and i960s I
have also belong to x-windows terminals.... semi interesting that they
were all made using RISC architecure processors IMHO. Of course, they're
not 'great' examples, but they do have a real cut-down UNIX type OS
running on them that can usually be accessed. In fact, there's a Linux
version (uClinux) that will run on the i960.. I've just never got the time
to fool around with making the system image and stuff.

All this mention of Motorola's 88000 RISC chip has made me wonder
what machines were built around it. Did Data General make anything
with it? Was there a Motorola development system?
One of my collecting goals is to acquire an example of each of
the microprocessor acrhitectures. Now 6502, 8080, 6809, 68000,
and so on are easy. What about the Z8000? The 32032 (I do have
a Whitechapel)? The 88000? The iAPX432?
