NeXT had an Intel version as a hedge as well. Seems those two projects were destined to merge together.

  That was actually their product rather than a 'hedge' for a while.

    It started out as a hedge against their own hardware being an impediment to sales, then ended up being their entire business. I guess it was a good hedge to have!

      Considering they had NeXTSTEP release versions running on x86, PA-RISC, SPARC, and its original home 68000, they did pretty well. I do wonder why the MIPS chips were ignored.

        Maybe SGI didn't want to play ball...
        • protomyth 10y ago
          Probably, but it just seems rather odd since MIPS had an open system spec and Windows NT had been ported to it.

  Not just Intel but PA-RISC and Sparc as well, in addition to M68K.

    Also Moto 88110 RISC processors (though those NeXT products never saw the light of day...)

  More than that, NeXTSTEP 3.3 and later did really release to the public for Intel x86
