Not that I'm aware of - The QNX OS is still their main product, and although
it's changed a lot from the early 1.x versions that I have, it's still close
enough that I think they'd care.

They've had several demos over the years, including CD versions of their
more recent offerings - the one I have is one of their earliest and I'm
pretty sure it runs on an 8088 - It's a single 5.25" floppy.
