I've had no dealings with MIPS in the past, so I'm interested in hearing from people who have these beasties, and what they think about them, more specifically: 1) How is MIPSCo support, both HW and SW ?? 2) I come from the 4.3 world, will I end up despising RISC/os like I despise AIX ?? 3) How reliable are the machines ?? 4) I have heard that they are great performers..How do they compare to similar machines from other vendors ?? (DS3100, SS1) Thanks for your input. Please respond to me directly...I'll summarize if there's interest.
