Quoting Ian Zimmerman (itz at speakeasy.org):

> There was the AT&T "Unix PC", based on their own 3b2 chip IIRC.

'Long as we're delving into Unix history, I vaguely recall that the 
AT&T / Olivetti Unix PC was scooped by an x86 PC hardware company in the
UK.  Name started with "E".  It didn't last long, and they tried hard to
conceal the Unix underpinnings, for marketing reasons.
