The question was:

	On what micros will UNIX run?  (Or macros, for that matter).

I don't have the complete answer to that because, alas, there are
many groups doing their work in !horrors! secret, keeping their
exciting new product a --> mystery <-- until they can get a jump
on the market.

But UNIX will run, at least on the following computers:

	11's of all flavors
	VAX's of all flavors
	IBM Series 1
	Perkin Elmer (Interdata)
	Harris
	Z8000 (Onyx)
	Various militarized flavors of the above

And one hears that it will soon be commercially available on:

	8086
	68000
	Perq (perhaps, up to Tom Duff)
	IBM System 370's (probably under VM)

Can anyone add any other manufacturers?  What about Prime, for example?
