Ross Technology - (1997)

Ross Technology, founded by alumni of Cypress Semiconductor who made the 2nd generation SPARC chip for Sun's SPARCstation 1, used to manufacturer 32 bit HyperSPARC processor chips, modules and motherboards.

These HyperSPARC chips were a competitive upgrade for MBus workstations including Sun Microsystems SPARCstation models 10, and 20.

RossTech used the marketing services of the SPARC Product Directory to generate wider awareness of its products and succeeded in getting many 3rd party oem design slots.

But the company never made the transition to a 64 bit SPARC product.

Ross Technology closed down in 1998.

For a short time afterwards these products were still available from BridgePoint Technical Manufacturing.
