I don't remember SGI even being a glimmer in anyone's eye at that time.

It certainly wasn't an IRIS-1000.  Haven't all SGI machines been based
on the MIPS chips?  Hmmm.... I guess not (according to the IRIS FAQ)!

Of course the original IRIS-1000 was a SUN variant.....  :-)

But the IRIS had disks -- the machine I'm thinking of had none, not even
provision for one.

It was more like the BBN BitGraph, but I don't think it was that one
either.

Hmmm... maybe it was a Comutervision workstation.....  or maybe it was a
Corvus Concept prototype....

        aMotorola 68000 processor, 256KB RAM, 120x66 character (560x720         
        graphics) B/W display, for US$5000. [396.6]
