HiPPI can be considered as an electrical interface which you do arbitrary things on, so there are vendors working on network products which use HiPPI as well as for Mass Storage. Specific vendors who have products are: Ultra Network Technologies, Network Systems Corp, and Maximum Strategy Corp., with more crawling out of the woodwork all the time. Machines you can connect with HiPPI include Crays, Connection Machines and IBM 3090s. Gene Hastings Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center hastings@psc.edu
