- Not true. As far as I know you can order it now, although I am not 100% sure
- of exactly when you would find it in the mailbox, however it appears to be out.
-
- (or else I am one of those selected sites since I got an offer to buy it B-))

-
- They are currently only shipping 4.4BSD-encumbered which means you have to
- have a AT&T source licence...
-
- Lite will follow later according to the paper ...

- These are the supported boxes:
-
- HP9000/300 68000-based workstations
- Intel 386/486-based machines (ISA/AT or EISA(?!!) bus only)
- Sony News MIPS-based workstations
- Omron Luna 68000-based workstations
- DECstation 3100 and 5000 MIPS-based workstations
- Sparcstation I & II SPARC-based workstations (<------)

- As you can see there are at least two m680x0 machines supported...as well
- as support for the SPARC...
-
- If you want more info, I would suggest contacting Pauline Schwartz at
- pauline@cs.berkeley.edu or phone (510) 642-7780...
