The operating systems currently supported are Xenix, Unix System V,
(for the VAX), VMS (including for the MicroVaxII), RSX-11M,PC-DOS
and some other brands of System V that are OEM related.
The real sleeper in their product line is a workstation they call
the Nutcracker. It is a slick development/debugging/repairing
tool that sits on your Ethernet and copies all packets into its buffers
and then depending on the various sets of filters you have established
it will take statistics of all kinds. It is fast enought to
do tthis at full speed. It can also inject packets for any destination
at any speed you wish and can even generate invalid packets for
debugging purposes. Quite a lot of work has gone into this product
and for research and development sites it looks like an invaluabe tool
at many levels of design. The price for this complete workstation
is not low, about $50k. You might not want to get one for home use,
but its existence in a good indication of the level of engineering talent
that exists inside the company.
The prices on their boards and host software modules are quite
reasonable and they give generous discounts for large volumes.
They are located in San Jose and can be reached at 408-434-2300.
