[wo wo here she comes, watch out boy she'll chew you up, she's a line eater]

You have left out HP with their RISC-chip family:  Spectrum.  You have
left out the 68020.  You have left out whatever RISC-like thing that
DEC will do.  You have left out the Z80000.  ....

RISC-like thing from DEC? Are you kidding?

DEC just "announced" three new micro-class machines: The VAXSTATION I, a
MICROVAX I packaged like a SUN; the PRO 380, a J11 (PDP-11/70 on a chip)
box; and the DECMATE III, yet another z80 box. None of these in any way
resembles a RISC, and the three of them pretty well cover the spectrum of
single-user machines.
