Appreciate the suggestion. I already have a few deskside 88k AViiONs 
buried in storage, several Moto MVME 88100/88110 modules and a chassis 
or two, an ADP-badged M8120, and one of the OMRON Luna 88k SMP 
workstations. That last just popped up on eBay one day so I grabbed it 
-- say, wonder if I can dig that out in time for VCF...

As Jerry wrote, the 88k systems in question were probably officially 
designated as the 900 series. But I think there must have been some 
marketing use of the name based on the packaging. Too bad I couldn't 
keep all those issues of SunWorld, OpenSystems and EE News so I could 
track it down.

Anyway I always dug the packaging of the Powerstack (or 900 series) 
systems, and thought it'd be neat to have one someday.
