First off, since I wasn't able to send this to cctech, I'll
assume for now that the messages we send to this list are
automatically forwarded for approval, or something like that.

They have a "periodic table of IRISes." Google ought to have some
of them. Their first workstation was the IRIS 2000, I think. Or
do you mean desktop workstation? :)

The IRIS 2000 was based on a motorola 680xx chip of some kind.

Their first smaller workstation was a "personal IRIS" system. It
was a tower case. After that, the Indigo.

I know specifically that the first Indigos used R3000 CPUs, but
you'll have to look up the ones used in Personal IRIS and IRIS 2000.

Also look at IRIS 3000, and IRIS Professional (I think those are the
ones) systems, which were produced in between. (In that order)
