I wasn't aware that Labtam was using XA/MX chips in their X terminals; I
thought they used the core-architecture or maybe numeric-architecture
versions....

(Or, to put it another way, I suspect you misread what Mr. Kahn said; he
didn't say there was little demand for 960's outside the military, he said
there was little demand "for products with the capabilities of the
MX/XA", presumably meaning "little demand for products with all the
capability-based segmented-address-space stuff", outside the military.)
