There's Groupe Bull, Fujitsu-Siemens, Fujitsu and Hitachi. (Not all are

that the CA DMV systems were on RCA equipment, with the
databases on the RCA RACE equipment (similar to the IBM data cells, but
not compatible). They were trying to convert the data to IBM equipment,
but the only apparent way to do so was via 6250 BPI tape, and it was
estimated it would take months

Are we sure about that anymore?

That depends on *which* Unisys processor. The lines inherited from
Burroughs run a system called MCP. The lines inherited from UNIVAC

Well, that depends on how you define mainframe. When I go to IBM's
Web site and click on mainframes, I don't see any RS/6000's. However,
