I have to drift off topic here since the Z8000 Onyx was my first unix.
The C compiler was extra, and there was no vi yet. Did all our development
in assembly with ed. I think we started with 256k memory and an 80mb disk
(might have only been 40mb). Couldn't run two adb's at once or the machine
would thrash to halt. Learned unix by reading the printed man pages.
Ahhh, the memories. Thanks Bill.
