	For a kick, you might want to review the charter issue of Unix/World
(January, '84 as I recall) and see who was active and who wasn't. (Remember
Onyx? Dual? Zilog?) Hewlett/Packard was releasing its first boxes. I had
a close look at Plexus in mid '84... a nicely engineered box. To my 
knowledge, Plexus is still around, but works strictly on image processing.
