Hi Doc,
that was me, who asked for some software for a NS32032 board ...
Till last week, i've learned that Opus Systems is out of business, and that there is
no chance to get any documentation and/or software from them for this kind of board :-(
They made SPARC based processor boards as well, but unfortunately, i've never seen
such a board ...
... but if there is a chance to grab such a beast, i would take it :-)

Seriously.
Somebody mentioned last week that they had questions about an Opus
card, I just saw one, a 300PM, on Dan Veeneman's page, and I have the
software (2 DC6150 QIC tapes) for a 400PM. These appear to be for
Solaris, or SunOS, and I read that Opus built "mainframe coprocessors"
for Suns as well as ATs. I think they also built standalone
workstations.
Does anybody have a matched set? Software and hardware? Ever seen
the mainframe coprocessors in action?
These things are really intriguing to me, and really mysterious.
If anybody has an SBus 400PM card and needs the software, or wants to
donate/trade it, I'm willing either way.
If somebody wants to forward this to CCtech, that'd be cool too.
