- nickpsecurity 11y agoI'm going to give you a hint: there's a number in parenthesis in the title. It being there wasn't random although the paper's occurrence could've been.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoI swear if I keep seeing DOS I might eventually do what I always threatened: a TrustedDOS implementation in Ada on a separation kernel and secure hardware (eg SecureCore, CodeSEAL). Imagine the security evaluators faces trying to reconcile all of that with the word DOS. I'd casually mention that it wasn't backwards compatible with their prior apps for... reasons...
- mrpippy 11y agoThere was also MacMach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacMach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacMach), a port of Mach 2.5 (and later 3.0) to the Mac II, and experimental support for running System 7 as a Mach task. Unfortunately the code hasn't been available for 20+ years: the license required the user to have an AT&T UNIX source license and a separate agreement with Apple for the Mac task support. Too bad, it would be fun to play around with today.
