re: facts on MIPS machines
1) There's an M/500 that's been out a while, and a recently-announced M/800
(5X 11/780 & 8X, respectively). See comp.arch, <252@winchester.mips.UUCP>
2) In classic Silicon Valley style, where you often contract out manufacturing
early before you have the volume to do it inhouse, Plexus builds the
physical box & peripherals to our spec; we add our CPU & memories and
do the integration, test, software, etc.
Plexus does NOT sell this box, and it is definitely NOT called a P/95,
since it is not a Plexus system.
3) It uses a MIPS R2000 RISC CPU and R2010 FPU.
4) There are 2 UNIX ports: 1 is 4.3BSD, the other is SVR3.
