- Sequent build early SMP and a bit later big NUMA machines based on
80[3456]86 CPUs. The early machines run some BSD UNIX, IIRC 4.2BSD,
later replaced by some SysV flavor. Finaly they supported WinNT...

- Siemens MX300. The first models had some NatSemi 32k CPU, the later
80486. Used Multibus, designed to run Sinix, the Siemes interpretation
of Unix.

- Cray XT3. Current machine, based on AMD Opteron, "scale steadily from
200 to 30,000 processors". =:-()

- SGI Visual Workstation 320 and 540, dual / quad Intel P II / P III,
doomed to run WinNT but finaly there came some Linux support.

- Didn't DG build some Intel based machines to replace the M88k based
AViiON?
