It also featured IBM's first RISC processor (the ROMP, if I remember correctly). I bought one for $90 hoping to salvage some parts; I think I ended up with a jar of screws and some very strange ISA boards. I certainly couldn't boot it. 8) As for colour, that's no challenge. ACIS would have been green or orange onscreen, and grey, beige, maroon or blue in the box on the shelf. > On Wed, 29 Apr 1998, Jordan K.
