Well, there was, of course, the original -- the Tandy 16/6000 with the 68000
processor.
Over the years, there were other 68000-series based computers beyond Tandy
and NCR, such as Plexus. Then there was the 88000-series Data General DG-UX
line. (Unlike the x86 processor line, every manufacturer had their own,
mutually incompatible, *nix binary format.) There were two HP-UX versions
that I recall -- one "IA64", and another for some RISC processor. There was
also the IBM AIX (both RS/6000 and PowerPC) computer line. And there was a
Sun SPARC version as well. There was an "Ultrix" port, but I don't recall
the CPU. And I don't know if you would consider the VAX/VMS version a "Unix
version". (No, VMS is nothing like Unix, but filePro's functionality was
identical to the Unix version.)
And I'm sure I've forgotten other, more obscure, systems.
