That's a very good point. But going too far in that direction may have
been a problem too. My understanding is that Omron's Luna 88K line was
very closely tied to the education market. It ran a customized version of
Mach, so in some sense I suppose they were tied to CMU from the get-go, and
my understanding is that they courted the education market heavily.
Oberlin College was given, outright, a four processor 88K Luna. Today I'm
not sure you could find a running Luna if you wanted to.
