	Stratus Computers, headquarters might be in Marlborough Ma. Or nearby certainly. Generally well know for making fault-tolerent systems through use of redundant hardware. They have their own OS, but I believe they are also doing Unix these days. Originally based on Motorola 68xxx chips, I think they have gone to PA Risc chip from HP, but I may have that wrong. PeterT

	The following list summarizes important details about Stratus. This information is provided in greater detail elsewhere on this server. Founded: 1980 Products: Stratus Continuum(TM), RADIO Cluster(TM), and XA/R(TM) Continuous Processing Systems; vertical industry applications software; middleware; professional services Systems Shipped: 7,750 Initial Public Stock Offering: 1983 Employees Worldwide: 2,800 Corporate Headquarters: Marlboro, Mass., U.S.A. Manufacturing: Marlboro, Mass., U.S.A.; and Dublin, Ireland Continuum is the PA-RISC based system; RADIO is Intel based. Didn't dig far enough to find out what XA/R is; might be legacy M68K stuff Peter mentioned.
