    Jason,
    
    As far as I am aware there is NO later version of OSF/1 that will run
    on the MIPS platforms. The only versions that did run I believe were
    very early pre-release version, which I think it was 'Bronze' or
    'Silver'. If you need to run Digital UNIX aka OSF/1 you will need an
    Alpha machine of some description.
    
    Regards,
    Colin S.

Actually, there was a version of OSF/1 for MIPS (V1.0).  That's DEC OSF/1
for Alpha started at V1.2 and not at V1.0.  I probably have a copy of Tin
somewhere but it isn;t worth digging up.  I'd use NetBSD/pmax instead (and
it supports *shared* libraries).
