Has anyone else heard that Fujitsu will be announcing, soon, a RISC
microprocessor?  If this is indeed fact, what are the specs for this
beast?

Damn, it looks like we Americans have shot ourselves in the foot
again:  by emphasizing simple processors, we just made it even
easier for the Japanese to invade our one last bastion of market
domination.  Before you know it, Stolichnaya Computers will be
announcing a (140-proof) RISC machine complete with a drum-shifter,
postponed branches, 1/2-cycle instructions, and scraping register
doors.  It'll have a Czar language compiler.  :-)
