I suspect Commodore's SVR4 port would have played a role: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_Unix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_Unix
Likewise, Atari had a Unix port on the TT workstation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_TT030 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_TT030
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoWe also had (well, have) a Unix-like extension for the shipped TOS/GEMDOS/GEM OS in the form of MiNT/FreeMiNT, which went on to form the foundation of the official MultiTOS which unfortunately died along with the ST when Atari Corp died. It had/has a POSIX(ish) API, device files, mountable filesystems, pre-emptive multitasking, TCP/IP, etc. while still being able to run classic TOS binaries. You can run this in an emulator or on hardware still today and it still gets active development, under the GPL. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOkDuLmgWFo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOkDuLmgWFo
- EvanAnderson 2y agoThat looks like it would be a ton of fun to try. I wonder how that would run on my MiST!
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoquite well. Though it benefits from a faster machine with an 020 or 030 and more memory.
