The were Stanford University Network Termnal (aka SUN), that were linesed by VLSI Technology (later renamed SMI); as were a number of other forms such as Imagen. Little known details... Masscomp (as ex-DEC HW folks) used the Valid systems also. tjt and I hacked together a microcode assembler in lex/yacc over the course of a few days/weeks that was the same syntax and features of the old DEC internal microcode assembler Paul Gaulbau and teams had used on the Vax et al. (I might even have it somewhere - Clem-isms - spelling errors/dyslexia in the comment headers) DEC-West had a number of macro/library files they had developed for the Valid. One night mag tapes of each mysteriuslly appeared at the other firm. ;-) ᐧ
