No, the 4404 is not a Magnolia.  The internal code name for the 4404
was/is Pegasus.  Much of the 4404/Pegasus product was based on work
done in the Magnolia environment, but they are not the same machine.

Magnolia is an in-house research machine only.  It was designed for
flexibility and was able to ignore lots of minor issues like UL
listing, the new FCC EMI rules, manufacturability, cost effectiveness,
etc.  Real products, can't afford to ignore these issues.

No, I'm not part of the Pegasus team, but I was involved in some of the
early Magnolia work.
