[comp.sys.mips] When were they first built?

Hello...

I'm working on a brief performance-vs-time analysis of various workstations.
I have the MIPS Performance Brief - CPU Benchmarks (which is VERY nice, by
the way), but I don't know when the various MIPS machines were originally
released.  If you have such information for the M/{500,800,1000,120-5,2000-8},
I will be forever (well, at least a little while) in your debt if you will
let me know.  The dates can be for initial announcements, appearance on the
price list, or something similar - I'd just like the same sort of date for
the different models.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks to all you nice MIPS people who sent mail in response to my posting -
I now have plenty of data.  (If anyone else out there is interested in
the answers to my question, I'll be happy to send you the responses I
received.)

Again, thanks to all...
