heh - before I worked for SuperMac I worked for the company that ported A/UX to the Mac for Apple, the SuperMac guys brought in one of their early (not Sony) monitors for me with the hope that I'd make it work on A/UX for them (I did) .... I was sitting there showing the port of X I'd just done to some co workers when suddenly the screen did this weird twisty spiral thing .... just outside the window was a truck carrying some ex-BART railstock was driving past ... essentially a giant bar magnet
- mrpippy 6y agoUniSoft? Cool, what parts of A/UX did you work on?
- Taniwha 6y agoLots of stuff, I did many of the device drivers, the low level display console, the appletalk stack, the kernel event manager, the code that would build new kernels with new device drivers when stuff changed - A/UX 1.0 was essentially our stock System V port with BSD networking with drivers for the Apple hardware
