- Actually, a friend borrowed an old multiuser UNIX box, I forget the brand,
- that had an 68010. It had ports for many terminals on the back and a 40mb
- harddrive. I suppose it had VM, MP. I do not remember for sure. I played
- around with it for several hours. (Remember the UNIX hangman game?) It
- seemed to work fine, however slow.
-
- I saw one on the back of a station wagon at a computer flea market once.
- Got a little chuckle out of that. I think the guy wanted $600 for it.
