Stanford MIPS and MIPS-X, as far as I know, do not have COMMERCIAL
implementations, although maybe somebody has licensed the latter
from Stanford.  We [MIPS Computer Systems] licensed the former,
although our R2000 & R3000 resemble the original MIPS in only a few
ways, as they are more like IBM 801s or HP PA at the instruction-set
level.  MIPS-X is also a different architecture.
