I was told they are not calling it the RT. Can anyone tell me what to expect and what are the critical features to look at?

I believe the new RIOS workstation is called the System 6000. Since I
wasn't at the rollout today I don't know many of the details, but from what
I've heard it sounds like a very good machine. My company is going to get
one of the low-end machines(325, I think) for examination next week. The
machine comes with 8 megabytes of RAM and 120 megabyte hard drive for
~$7000. The thing that sounds great for our system is that it can do
context switches in about 2 milliseconds, which may not be fantastic, but
gives us a machine to sell that has the proper price/performance ratio.
