- Opus Systems, the former maker of the 88K OpusPM 400 series of
- co-processors, has apparently abandoned the 88K market in favor of
- being a Sun clone and SparcCard (PM-500) maker.
-
- Furthermore, the news I have is that Opus has filed for
- protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Act and
- is not currently selling anything!
-
- They moved back to San Jose or someplace like that in area code
- 408 after leaving the high-rent district in Cupertino. :-(
