If Motorola Inc’s 88000 RISC processor is destined to take more of a back seat in the CPU arena following the firm’s alignment with the Apple-IBM axis, its profile in other application areas remains high. Network Computing Devices, based in Mountain View, California, has come out with a 19 colour X Window terminal built around a 20MHz version of the part – the company’s first RISC-based offering. With a resolution of 1,280 by 1,024, the NCD19c comes in at $6,400 with 6Mb RAM. Network Computing Devices now has 19, 17 and 14 colour terminals, as well as 15, 16 and 19 monochrome products.
