I suppose we could say "all machines count", but seeing some of the lines
that actually had a chance in the market (and a dent on history) die would
suck. I would think Apollos, Teks, and Integraphs would be the more
important machines. For example, Integraph made a hell of a lot of
machines using an interesting architecture, and even modified VAXes for
servers, but after they got out of the hardware business quite a few years
ago, it is almost like everything simply vanished.
