I wrote sfront on a HPUX workstation, and the first audio driver was for its hardware -- UCB CS were given hundreds of these machines when our new building opened by HP, and so for a few years a lot of the experimental systems in the building first ran on HP's. Those machines have mostly left their original owners now, and the desks they were sitting on are mostly populated by PC hardware running a mix of NT and Linux, although there are still many Sun's on chip-design desks, and SGI on graphics desks ... the server rooms are incredibly diverse, though, one of everything and many custom things too ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Lazzaro -- Research Specialist -- CS Division -- EECS -- UC Berkeley lazzaro [at] cs [dot] berkeley [dot] edu www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro -------------------------------------------------------------------------
