"Unix Leads the 64-bit Charge" (November 1996 Special Report) failed to mention HAL Computer Systems' HALStation 300 series workstations. This computer has a 64-bit SPARC V9 processor of HAL's own design and a full 64-bit version of Sun's Solaris OS, which was ported by HAL and is compatible with existing 32-bit Unix applications. I hope that future articles about 64-bit computers, chips, and OSes will mention the HALStation. More information is available at
