- trasz 6y agoSince early nineties the Unix workstation vendors also had this problem - every now and then they managed to get ahead, particularly with floating point, but then quickly lost the lead, not being able to keep up with Intel. Most of them also loved weird hardware solutions - not just internal bus connectors, but also serial ports (eg the round Mac serial port connectors used by SGI) and sometimes just a "generally weird interfaces", like HP MUX boxes, or HIL keyboards/mice.
