The Torch Triple X UNIX PC

[Erik Freed]

> The Torch Triple X is a very nice machine. We have had a demonstration
> of it, so it is real. The version we saw was the final release machine
> with the complete window manager. The response time is very good, to my
> mind faster than the Sun2, and the whole machine seemed quite solid. The
> user-interface is very simple, powerful, and is very intuitive. The display
> is rock steady and very sharp. It uses a long persistence phospher Sony
> monitor. There is a VME-bus connector for expansion.
