Oh, yes, I think it was Digital Unix. IIRC, we toyed with OSF/1, but there wasn't much call for it.

- p_l 2y agoOSF/1, Digital Unix, and Tru64 are the same OS at different points in time. Technically OSF/1 was supposed to be the commercial BSD answer to System V, in practice only several niche vendors used it, plus Digital and NeXT (and through NeXT, Apple which continues the line to this day)
