I just got a lump of sales literature from MIPS on their machines.  Quite
interesting.  They seem to be pitching it mainly at OEMs, since the only
fully-packaged version is explicitly specified as a development system to
let you get your software in order while your hardware is being built.

One thing that's extremely commendable (are you listening, DEC?) is that
they are selling their CPU as a packaged box AND VMEbus boards AND chips.
Instead of having to buy the whole kit and caboodle from them, you can
decide what level you want to work at.
