Nibbles from SPARC History

Performance Technologies started supporting the Sun platform even before the days of SPARC. Their first SBus product was an SBus to VMEbus converter. I remember when I started using it, in about 1989 or 90 it didn't actually come with a SunOS driver, so one of my engineers wrote one!

In the early 1990s PTI produced their own rackmount SPARC server under the "Performance Computer" brand name. But they quickly dropped that idea when they realised it upset many of their SPARC oem customers.

PTI was one of the first handful of HBA manufacturs to support the PCIbus on SPARC/Solaris, and for a number of years from 1996 onwards they advertised in the SPARC Product Directory. The banner ad shown on the right is one we ran in July 1999.
