Opus has been around for quite a while (in computer industry years; 1
computer industry year == 10 any-other-industry year ;').  

They started out making a line of PC plug-in boards, using the National
Semi 32000 series CPU's, that put Unix in your PC.  The line has evolved
to include all the 32000-series chips, an 88000-based product, a
SPARC-based product, and if I'm not mistaken, a Clipper-based product.

More recently, they worked with VLSI to produce the SPARCkit clone (they
did the board and ROMs).  I liked the little 32032-based Unix board I
played with...
