There WERE 2 others, as I know. The SPACE 65 by IBS, Germany, which seemed
to be sort of a super //e clone, and a machine made by Acorn, Great Britain.
The Acorn guys seem to make now a neat RISC machine, The Archimedes with
own OS (yeah, no PC clone!), GUI and PC emulation. (As I read in MC, a
German computer magazine, it's quite fast!)
BTW, will the Avatar contain a RISC processor? (Perhaps the ARM from Acorn?...)
