- It was answering the same question that you did with "Stratus doesn't".
- I just added some additional information beyond saying "Tandem
- doesn't", i.e. tell the guy what RISC chips we are using. The Stratus
- RISC offering is based on the Intel i860. I don't know of anybody
- offering a SPARC-based FT system.
