88open was an industry standards group set up by Motorola in 1988 to standardize Unix systems on their Motorola 88000 RISC CPU systems.[1] At its peak, the spinoff 88open Consortium Ltd. had a staff of 30 people and over 50 supporters.[2] The effort was largely a failure, at least in terms of attracting attention to the 88000 platform. The group was closed in favor of the AIM alliance, and the 88000 platform was folded into AIM's PowerPC.[3][4]

Members

Motorola provided 50% of the financial support for the consortium. Early members were Data General, Convergent, and Tektronix. By May 1988, 28 companies had joined with 7 not releasing their names.[5][6]

Standards

  • Object Compatibility Standard (OCS): An 88open standard for compilers and linkers.
