Siemens used to make lots of computing hardware like RF modems, MIPS processors, DRAM, even their own custom design CPU architecture (Tri-Core) for use in automotive and such.
Some of them still live on today in various spin-offs like Tri-Core is now part of Infineon, DRAM used to be Qimonda which went under and part of the RF modem division is now Apple.

SINIX and Linux used the R4000 in big endian mode, whereas NT was running in little endian. You had to flash a different firmware to switch between the systems...
