Had one of those at my VIth Form - think it was an ex-display model Acorn had demo'd at a trade show (suspect it was an A680, it definitely had SCSI). Can't underestimate the lure of that mysterious "real" OS it would boot into. My first exposure to 'nix.
- danellis 6y agoMy first exposure to Unix was RiscBSD, which was netbsd/arm26 running on a RISC PC. Installed from a pile of floppies downloaded at school. Eventually I got an old Elonex 386 that I could install Slackware on, and with a bit of coax I had a 10base2 home network and was being amazed at the concept of running X clients remotely.
