- This is one of the first, if not THE first, micro-based uNIX boxes. I believe
- it's Z8000 based.
-
- I guess this is as good a time as any... I'm going to try and put together
- a uNIX on tired iron FAQ. This will include contact information, support
- info, resources, and so on for as many old uNIX boxes as possible. If anyone
- has any information about Onyx, Fortune, Plexus, Zeus, 3b1, HP Integral, Wicat,
- Pixar, and whatever other old no-longer-supported uNIX systems let me know.
-
- More modern or still-supported hardware is also kosher, if it's far enough
- behind the state of the art that support is getting problematical. I'd like
- to include some info on anything that will run on 286 and older 386 machines
- (say, under 4M (4M is small? Say it ain't so!)...).
-
- Non-AT&T uNIXoid implementations are also welcome, from Idris and Regulus on
- up to Coherent and QNX, since these tend to be smaller and more efficient.
