As I vaguely remember it:

     Currently available on:
         Sun4
         Decstation (I think)

     Soon available (by year end/early next year):
         Mac
         OS/2

(I may have forgotten others, sorry)

Currently there are no plans to port Sun3 (low perceived demand + Sun
phasing out Sun3's)

Someone who asked a sales rep, but didn't think to write down answer :-(
