That would be right. The AViiONs would be the followup to the MVs, which in 
turn were the follow ups to the Eclipses. Just retired a bunch with 
sledgehammers. AViiONs actually come in two varieties - DG maintained the name 
for their Intel server line as well.

To my knowledge, the MVs were pretty much proprietary hardware, so I would 
expect that a port would be somewhat nasty...
