The R5000 is a microprocessor that implements the MIPS IV instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by Quantum Effect Design (QED). The project was funded by MIPS Technologies, Inc (MTI), also the licensor. MTI then licensed the design to Integrated Device Technology (IDT), NEC, NKK, and Toshiba. The R5000 succeeded the QED R4600 and R4700 as their flagship high-end embedded microprocessor. IDT marketed its version of the R5000 as the 79RV5000, NEC as VR5000, NKK as the NR5000, and Toshiba as the TX5000. The R5000 was sold to PMC-Sierra when the company acquired QED. Derivatives of the R5000 are still in production today for embedded systems.
Users of the R5000 in workstation and server computers were Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) and Siemens-Nixdorf. SGI used the R5000 in their O2 and Indy low-end workstations. The R5000 was also used in embedded systems such as network routers and high-end printers. The R5000 found its way into the arcade gaming industry, R5000 powered mainboards where used by Atari and Midway. Initially the Cobalt Qube and Cobalt RaQ used a derivative model, the RM5230 and RM5231. The Qube 2700 used the RM5230 microprocessor, whereas the Qube 2 used the RM5231. The original RaQ systems were equipped with RM5230 or RM5231 CPUs but later models used AMD K6-2 chips and then eventually Intel Pentium III CPUs for the final models.
(A hotel room)
good evening, maam
ELLEN
don't turn the bed yet
I'm not the maid
ELLEN
what do you want then?
they must have written the room number wrong
I am looking for someone named Christopher Scott
three-seventeen, oh I'm sorry... unless
well, you must be, of course, you're John's wife, are you not?
ELLEN
oh God, I see
it had to happen
you must be Kim
Chris went to find you
please come inside
no one will hurt you
I'm Chris's wife
my name is Ellen
(KIM doesn't move)
ELLEN
in a way, I am glad I am meeting you first
understand, you were only a name till tonight
I don't know how I'd feel if our roles were reversed
please won't you sit down
tell me you are lying
ELLEN
we've been married a year, I am sorry, it's true
he said he'd come to get me
ELLEN
he says he tried to reach you, but what could he do?
please tell me you're not married
you don't know, you can't know what I've done to be here
ELLEN
you don't know how he needed a new start
I feel walls in my heart
closing in
I can't breathe
I can't win
ELLEN
as for the child
you say it's Chris's
oh yes, Madame
my son is Chris's
I had a dream for my son to belong
and not live his life in the streets like a rat
ELLEN
we aren't rich, but we'll shoulder our load
Chris and I are totally together on that
then you must take Tam with you
ELLEN
take a child from his mother, impossible Kim
you will take Tam with you
then he'll get what I wanted for him
ELLEN
but Kim, your child needs you
Chris is married to me, we want kids of our own
Tam's chance lies with you now, not with me
BOTH
can't you see
it won't work
it can't be
if you're saying that because you've made him change his mind
Chris must go away and leave me and his son behind
if you're saying that because my husband has another wife
my child has no future, like the dust of life
he must come tonight to my place
tell me so to my face
(KIM exits)
ELLEN
I don't want this
I didn't come here
to meet a girl
who loves my husband
I came here to help, but what do I do?
now, after this, what do I . . .
