238151 - WinMosaic/Version 2.0 (ALPHA 2) is incorrectly detected as DEC:other

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[timeless]

various flavors of Mosaic are actually available for Windows-MIPS, 
Windows-Alpha, and Windows-PPC in addition to the more commonplace Windows-x86.

I have 
WinMosaic/Version 2.0 (ALPHA 2)
and bugzilla really does mark it as DEC:other
this is a bug.

I need to find user agents for the non intel WinMosaics to see if I can address 
this.

For people playing along at home, useragents for the various winmosaics are 
appreciated. complaints that i'm not working on this are not. this is not a 
priority.

quick urls to browsers in case people actually have the hardware/os pairs handy:

mips: ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/Mosaic/Windows/v2.1.1/WinNT/MIPS/mosaic21.exe
ppc: 
ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/Mosaic/Windows/v2.1.1/WinNT/PPC/mosaic211PPC.exe
alpha: 
ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/Mosaic/Windows/v2.1.1/WinNT/PPC/mosaic211PPC.exe

oops alpha should be:
ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/Mosaic/Windows/v2.1.1/WinNT/DEC/axp.mosaic.2.0.0b4.exe

fwiw we're now working on getting nt ppc and nt mips working, so this should
become interesting shortly.

No need to bother with browsers which are 12 years old.
