I know that they didn't seem to produce more than an initial batch and I was 
asked to sell mine back so that a project could be completed with it. I 
though that the web was just beginning at the time Novix was coming out but 
Anton is probably right that not much was promoted that way in those early 
years.

Of course, the basic design of the Novix was used for the RTX2000 family 
that Harris produced. There is CPU-IP for the RTX series available which 
would be useful if you need that type of processor for anything (see MPE's 
web-site).
