  (Baco Raton, Fl) -- Inside sources at Rat's Mouth Industrial Spies, Inc., have
released previously unkown information about the new computer said to be in the
works at big blue.  The new machine represents a major deviation from the
traditional Intel CPU.

  I-Spy's report concludes that the basis of the new machine will be a
previously unheard of MC68813 microprocessor, a chip so powerful that it is said
to use a 220v power bus, and will come complete with a low-yield nuclear power
plant for portable operation.

  In addition to the above features of the 68813, research analysts say that the
new microprocessor will include the ultimate in addressing architecture, with
161 easy to remember addressing modes.

  Some of the new opcodes for the 68813 are:
