Despite the issues with early silicon, there were some notable adopters.
Encore and Sequent delivered multiprocessor systems based on the ns32k
family. Siemens-Nixdorf built a few models running SINIX. Definicon and
OPUS shipped add-in boards for PCs, using the x86 for I/O. Tektronix
delivered a couple models of UTek workstations. More notable than
"successful" since this wasn't commercial, but Niklaus Wirth et al at
ETH Z?rich built their Ceres workstations using the ns32k family.
I have two OPUS boards, one with a NS32032 and one with a NS32016. Many
years ago I tried to find the OS for them, but never succeeded. Does anyone
knows about the software needed for these?
