I suspect that the "UNIX workstation" would be more like a terminal to
a Unix system.  Remember the Blit?  Rob Pike and Bart Locanthi's
unreleased bitmapped terminal which AT&T management aborted into the
Teletype 5620?  I've heard of projects that put the Blit software into
a ROM cartridge for the Atari without much trouble.
