Is anyone out there familiar with the Motorola 88100
RISC machine?  Any experiences or opinions would be
appreciated.

I'm consulting for a client who's in the market to
purchase an automated library system, and one of the
vendors is bidding the Motorola as the hardware
for the system.  Two of the other vendors
have bid IBM RS6000s and one has bid a DEC MicroVAX
3100.

I've heard of the IBM and the DEC but have no idea
whether the Motorola is a decent platform.

Thanks
