We've already tried DWB 3.1 on all these machines, so the only obstacle is distribution and the 800 number for support. I've been unable to connect with SUN, although they have shown an interest. A few very small VARs have either bought or are making plans to buy 3.1 (so they tell me) but it would be improper to disclose who. Perhaps if you have a machine for which you would like DWB 3.1 binaries, send me the name of the manufacturer and I can contact them and try to get them interested. For small VARs it gets expensive to maintain a testbed of 50 different processors (I've got a CRAY X-MP myself to check out DWB but I don't think SoftQuad does), so the best bet is to convince MIPS, Sun, HP, etc. to issue it.
