Perkin-Elmer Corporation nowmakes a 68000 based
it comes in two basic flavours.

1. Monochrome with two 320k floppies and 15mb winchester disk.

2. colour with same disks.

The PE7350 can be used as  
a standalone workstation or as a multi-function
cluster.

I don't wish to use this space to give all technical specs. but will
gladly mail more info if you desire.

I am gathering information on single-user intelligent workstations - the sort
that supply hi-res graphics, etc - since they appear to be the workhorse of
the future. The only one I have used is the PERQ1, but I know there are others
on the market (BLIT, SUN, XEROX*, etc).
If you have heard of *any* standalone workstations (particularly if they can
run UN*X, or are user-microprogrammable) could you netmail me or snail-mail
me with info. or pointers to info.
If I get sufficient response, I will summarise and post.
Thanks, in advance,
