People wrote me that the 88Open Sourcebook, November 1990 had at least a subset of the public ones, as well as software.

Here are the summaries: 1) H/W vendors: 61 products from 9 vendors: 3 CETia 19 DG 10 Dolphin Server 2 Encore 1 Harris 9 Motorola 7 Norsk (These are different names for DG W/S or Dolphin servers) 9 Opus 1 Prometa AB -------TOTAL 61 (unless you subtract the Norsk ones as double-counts, getting 54 then) 2) S/W: 314 packages. These are in various stages of certification; I didn't count, but the estimate of 60 certified looked about right. Most of them are labeled "Planned Compliant", some are "In Progress" I couldn't find anything in the book about availability and such, so I have no idea where on the scale it fits: 3rd-party catalogs around the industry vary wildly in availability requirements to be listed, from "will port within 6 months" to "must be shippable". 4 AI 38 DBMS 1 Earth Resources 90 General Business 13 Imaging/Graphics 4 Networking & Comm 37 Office Automation 22 Science & Engineering 105 Software Engineering --- TOTAL 314 -- -john mashey DISCLAIMER: UUCP: mash@mips.com OR {ames,decwrl,prls,pyramid}!mips!mash DDD: 408-524-7015, 524-8253 or (main number) 408-720-1700 USPS: MIPS Computer Systems, 930 E.
