Yes, Solbourne developed their own, *genuine* multi-processor version of
SunOS and called is OS/MP. The last release was OS/MP 1.1C, which was based
on SunOS 4.1.3u1.

When Solbourne got out of the hardware business, Grumman bought all their
spares, etc. and continue to support corporate Solbourne clients.

There are rumours floating around that Grumman people are actually
considering doing a verion of SunOS 5.x for Solbourne machines, but I'll
believe it when I see it.

I have a Solbourne 5e/502 back home in Sydney (I'm still in the US on
holiday until Friday afternoon Cincinnati time) which runs fine, but it'd be
nice to have an up-to-date operating system for it.

Regards,

Craig.
