What was it called? Do you have more details?
- jacquesm 3y agoIt was called 'Unite', some of the details: QnX clone for x86/32 which at the time wasn't available (nor would Quantum commit to releasing something like that). Pre-emptive multi-tasking, multi-user micro kernel based on the QnX API calls. It worked quite well, we built a bunch of devices that used it internally as the firmware (mostly: internet bandwidth management in the context of a hosting facility). Some HN'er has been trying to revive it in a virtual environment.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoSounds interesting. Thanks for sharing!
- jacquesm 3y agoYou're welcome. One of these days I should try to revive it myself, it's been decades since I last worked on the code though. But I still have the installation media that I made (floppy images) so it should be possible to bring it back to life.
