CCI Power 6/32, Unisys 6000, Harris HCX-7, etc.). It's a mostly dead parrot these days. The Tahoe was designed in the mid 80's, and could be described as a semi-RISC'ed VAX. It was fast for its time -- around 8x to 10x a 11/780. I hope I haven't stepped on anybody's toes with the preceeding brief description.

Unisys 7000, not 6000

The CCI computer was resold as the Unisys 7000 series. The 6000 series
is based on 1 to 20 screaming 80486s and it is still running and selling
very well, thank you.
