Apollo Unix to Work With System 5 <- or should it be System V :-)
A next-generation operating system incorporating AT&T's Unix System 5,
Berkeley's 4.3 system, and Apollo's Aegis proprietary operating environ-
ment will be introduced this week by Apollo Computer Inc. of Chelmsford,
Massachusetts..
"This workstaion operating system will be the cornerstone for all
future Apollo hardware and software developements," said Jim Barbahallo,
an Apollo spokesman. "The system will allow users to run the three
operatinng environments in any combination simultaneously on the same
workstation." Apollo will also introduce a RISC workstation later this
year, Barbagallo said.
"The introduction will include a new workstation architecture,
which implements RISC technologies and concepts in concert with other
new technologies from Apollo," he said.

Is this the long rumored SR10 written in C++? Any comments from Apollo?
Also there have been some other rumors flying around about two more
boxes from Apollo, one uses a '030 (DN5000?) and the other is a striped
down DN3000 (DN2000?) with less slots on the AT bus.
