	Wasn't the i960 designed to be an intergrated controller type of
chip?  The only intel RISC microprocessor I ever saw running UNIX was some
odd version of the i860, either the i860XP or i860XR (or maybe even some
other version, I don't know too much about the i860 family) running OSF/1
on a Paragon.
