The CRJ series, if equipped (virtually all are) has a "Collins 4200 Flight Management System". It typically has one user interface device, but can have two; one for each pilot.

The E170/175/190/195 series of jets use Honeywell EPIC with two FMS pads and two pointing devices.

Dash 8-100 utilizes a single KNS660 and the Dash 8-300 uses a single UNS 1B or UNS 1C depending on which airplane you are in. The UNS is a lot better than the KNS. UNS is a lot like the CRJ's. Can do fun things like VNAV unlike the KNS.
