A survey of the "rags" will reveal there is still considerable confusion
about the actual configuration, though it appears that DEC may be close
to shipping something to somebody.  I'd assume it'll run VMS, lest DEC's
traditional user base run them out of town on a rail.  One might hope it
would also run Ultrix, however now that DEC is willing to sell their Unix
base RISC MIPs at a competitive price, only captive VMS base will get to
buy mega-buck MIPs...
