Looks like a true rumor to me.  The following is excerpted from a PARC Forum
announcement sent to all users of the Xerox message system.  It was an open
forum, so this is public information.

-----
The Xerox 1100 Scientific Information Processor, currently being marketed by
Xerox EOS to the research community, is a Dolphin processor running
Interlisp-D.  Not only does this configuration provide comfortable
interactive performance, but the availability of Interlisp on such a low cost
machine makes economically viable the widespread use of knowledge based
technology, such as the deployment of intelligent servers in a distributed
network environment.

(Xerox EOS = Xerox Electro-Optical Systems of Pasadena, Calif.)

The "Dolphin" is the same processor used in the Xerox 5700 laser printer.
This is NOT the "Dandelion" processor used in the Xerox Star.
