Fortune produced the first viable and marketable BSD-ish/SysIII/V7 Unix
micro of any importance; it was embraced by developers like Tandy
(Filepro/Profile) and I've seen it installed serving many terminals
in Gov't agencies, Universities, etc.
The machine entered this world running on an MC68000 at 5MHz (IIRC)
and a hard disk was optional. Dates ca. 1982 although most machines
I've seen had internal datecodes of 1984.
See the Datapro report for much more details.
