There was only one platform designed to be POSIX in all respects, the OSF/1 UNIX for the Alpha processor from Digital Equipment Corporation.
It was first known as DEC OSF/1, then Digital UNIX, then Tru64.
Previous to OSF/1, DEC had sold Ultrix, first on VAX, then on MIPS.

The wiki says that OSF/1 was first released for MIPS, but that was before my time, and it wasn't supported for long.
I did use Ultrix on MIPS DECStations in college.
