The Apple Newton PDA was single address space. The ARM 610 MMU was designed specifically for the Newton (the Domain protection system and sub-page protections, in particular).
This was circa 1992, if it matters.
- tyfon 11y agoI though all the mac os version up until they started using *bsd was single address space. They might have changed it in the very latest version, but from what I remember applications used to crash the os all the time.
- compiler-guy 11y agoThe apple Newton didn't run the Mac OS, but rather the Newton OS, which was almost completely unrelated. It was comparatively modern for its time, although quite quirky.
- drudru11 11y agoHeh - I brought that up to the Mill guys when they announced at Stanford. I asked them if they knew about that system in the Newton. They did not.. They mentioned that there was a Burroughs system (probably the 5000) that did that.
