Our company, GENROCO, Inc., manufactures a UNIX engine based on the
National Semiconductor 32332 running System V Release 3.0.  We also
have available a DIBOL compiler from DISC called DBL that runs in this
UNIX environment.  This CPU is designed to run on the DEC Qbus but
has been used successfully on UNIBUS machines such as the 11/44 and
the 11/84 through the use of the ABLE Microverter bus converter.

The cost to upgrade is low compared to the above.  If you want some
more information, please send me email or call.
