People willing to run a binary driver would also be willing to run
a binary OS, so the list is even longer.

NetBSD - 59 platforms
FreeBSD
OpenBSD
DragonflyBSD
Plan 9
Inferno
Mach
Minix
Hurd
? (Atari)
? (Amiga)
BeOS
OS X (Apple)
VMS/OpenVMS
SunOS/Solaris/OpenSolaris
OSF/Digital Unix/Tru64
AIX
Dynix/Dynix PTX
Irix? (Silicon Graphics)
HPUX? (HP)

I don't know how many platforms each of these supports, but it
looks like the number of binary drivers required would easily
be over 100.  Support for previous releases is also required,
so multiply by 3 or 4 for that.
