I wrote sfront on a HPUX workstation, and the first audio driver
was for its hardware -- UCB CS were given hundreds of these machines
when our new building opened by HP, and so for a few years a lot
of the experimental systems in the building first ran on HP's.

Those machines have mostly left their original owners now, and
the desks they were sitting on are mostly populated by PC hardware
running a mix of NT and Linux, although there are still many Sun's
on chip-design desks, and SGI on graphics desks ... the server
rooms are incredibly diverse, though, one of everything and many
custom things too ...
