The 88000 I have is in a NCD 88k X-Windows Terminal. The MIPS and i960s I
have also belong to x-windows terminals.... semi interesting that they
were all made using RISC architecure processors IMHO. Of course, they're
not 'great' examples, but they do have a real cut-down UNIX type OS
running on them that can usually be accessed. In fact, there's a Linux
version (uClinux) that will run on the i960.. I've just never got the time
to fool around with making the system image and stuff.
