	I'm not sure why Pete has re-posted this ... here is the answer again.

        DYNIX/ptx 1.4 is a Sequent-only release running on Sequent
Symmetry 2000 systems. The "PTX 1.3.1" which Pete mentions is a
Unisys version of DYNIX/ptx 1.3 from Sequent with Unisys drivers added
to it to support Unisys specific peripherals and comms products. The
Unisys version of PTX 1.3.1 also has support for a few of the new
peripherals which Sequent added in DYNIX/ptx 1.4 (FDDI & 3480 tape devices).
 
        The most current version of DYNIX/ptx is 2.0 which has been
shipping for the last 3 weeks with new features beyond what is available
in either PTX 1.3.1 or DYNIX/ptx 1.4. DYNIX/ptx 2.0 is only available
from Sequent for Sequent Symmetry systems ...
