What!?!  You must be kidding - there were *tons* more hardware vendors
back then, at least in terms of variety, because everyone had their own
CPU architecture, or at least a wildly variant operating system.

From the 1988 period, you're missing out:

AT&T (3b2), Prime, Data General, Masscomp, Apollo, Ridge, Sun, Pyramid,
Convex, Silicon Graphics, Mt Xinu, some company that made i860 multi-
processors, Sequent, Bolt, Beranek and Newman had a 20-bit CPU (Butterfly?),
Stellar, Ardent, Elxsi, and probably a pile of others.  I seem to recall Z-80
based multi-user systems among others.
