From:  Werner Uhrig 

	the Dec 83 issue of High-Technology has a very readable article
	on page 36, describing the current scene in the chip market,
	the trade-offs of different chips and designs, Operating Systems,
	etc.

	I don't know if it's correct in technical details or up-to-date
	in describing what's known in coming developments, but it's author
	Dwight B. Davis writes with a clarity I had become used to seeing
	only in Scientific American.

Key-words:  super-micros, minis, families of chips: Motorola's 68xxx,
	Intel's 86 series, standardization efforts, buses, open/closed
	systems, UNIX vs CP/M vs MS-DOS.  Mini-vendor reactions.
	8 vs 16 vs 32 bit architectures.  Shared-logic vs Network-in-a-box
	architecture.
