Well, I finally got to see it!
Here at the Usenix convention in Anaheim (I'm in the Usenix terminal room
right now), AT&T is demonstrating among other things an Amiga 3000 running
system V.4, running X-windows!
They have it hooked up to a network along with an AT&T machine and one other
(forget the make) all of which are running X-windows. The Amiga's display
looked incredible!! It was in "overscan" mode. They had an application
running that showed a train with vendors that market V.4 as the cars on the
train. (One of the trains was the C= train, of course)
The train was running across all machines, which makes it all the more
obvious that they had TCP/IP running for X to be able to communicate. All
of the keyboards were marked "Do not touch," so I didn't get to play with it
at all. The salesperson said he'd get some information to me...
