The new machine is not a 80386, but rather an internally developed RISC machine being released as a workstation (See PC Week, Dec. 3). It is supposed to run Unix Sys5 and something else, but I don't believe it will run DOS directly. The article said a co-processor 286 will be available, however, so DOS could use that. Also, the RISC machine will be available on a co-processor board for the AT. They are supposed to make the announcement in Jan, and I believe it was to ship in April. I assume that IBM is working on a 386, but I don't think that will be out in the near future. Jeff Schaffer ARPA: jeff@ucla-locus.arpa UUCP: ...!(ucbvax,ihnp4)!ucla-cs!jeff
