I've never seen anything other than Intel based Sequents. I've worked
with systems from the late eighties up until the mid nineties.

The first one I worked on was an updated Balance machine that had
20 386/16 processors and handled 350 interactive users plus multiple
Progress databases and a newsfeed.
