Its corpse was dismembered and sold to various companies, and Compaq got most of the silicon designs (including the aXp and the DS21x4x "Tulip" Ethernet chip) after the manufacturing facilities were sold to Intel.* Now Compaq has sold the processor design itself to Intel, prompting fears that it will die as soon as existing contracts expire. Maybe at least Intel will finally learn something about computer organization by studying it. ------------------------------ * Cabletron got most of the networking gear, Quantum acquired the disk and tape drives, and Oracle got RDB. Compaq also got the VAX and Alpha gear and the StorageWorks unit. Some outfit I'd never heard of got the terminals and printers unit and was still making VT5xx last I heard. Anybody know whatever happened to the "Dragon" graphics chip? -- Mark H.
