We have in the past investigated both FPS and CSPI's product range. Both primarily support systems running VMS. It is probably not very difficult to write the device drivers but converting (even if source were available) the code development tools is potentially much more time consuming. There are third party products for some of the FPS machines for unix but there are (were) limitations compared with the VMS stuff. There does not appear to be any CSPI support/interest in Unix and they were unwilling to provide source of their code for us to port despite offers of cofidentiality, feedback etc. We have a CSPI Mini-map running under RSX which would clearly benefit from Unix!
