Unisys Corp last week launched six new CTOS SuperGen and 10 new EISA and AT bus personal computer systems (the PW2s) that all use its Intel Corp-based Common Engineering Platform first introduced on the low-end models in its U6000 Unix family. Using the same hardware base for CTOS, personal computer and Unix lines, and then adding the appropriate graphics, input-output and subsystem options, cuts the company’s manufacturing costs and provides it with more flexibility on operating systems offered – the list currently includes Windows, NetWare, UnixWare, Santa Cruz Operation Inc Unix, Open Desktop, OS/2 and CTOS. NT is promised for December. Even the desktop A Series A7 proprietary mainframe now uses the Common Engineering Platform.
