You have left out the 68020. You have left out whatever RISC-like thing that DEC will do. You have left out the Z80000. .... bcase /* ---------- */ 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.
