  I didn't realize that they had ever shipped the
chip. I have a set of
 manuals, probably early. There seemed to be a lot of holes in the
 architecture -- things that weren't explained, or perhaps had not 
 yet been figured out. I wanted to get my hands on one a long time ago,
 but they dropped it before I ever saw the possibility of geting a chip.

  I never did figure out how they implemented their
garbage collection.                                                     ^^^^^^^

Well that certainly explains why the chip never saw the light of day;
Bill G. must have stomped all over this one.  Porting Windows to it
would have proved impossible, since pretty much the entire Windows
system is 'garbage'. :^>

Sorry guys, couldn't resist . . .
