  Just googling for Philips PG9000 gives barely enough information to figure
out what it was - a UNIX workstation with an MC68010 processor, running
SysV.2, and only ever mentioned on Usenet by one person. Is this another
non-PC that could run GEM? And does it have anything to do with this mention
from the 1985 review of GEM in Personal Computer World:

<   I would expect to see GEM running on other operating systems in
<   the immediate future.

<   An obvious candidate is Unix, where GEM could go a long way to converting
<   what has always been a supremely unfriendly system into a usable business
<   operating  system. Given DR's current activity on the Unix front, this
<   wouldn't be at all surprising.

  What *was* DR's activity on the Unix front, anyway? Wikipedia attributes 
Microport UNIX to them (which is odd, because
<http://members.cruzio.com/~bluejay/main.html> says Microport was a company
incorporated in 1986).
