Back in 1996 I used to maintain a custom device driver for SCO OpenDesktop (which we actually used as a server). The actual userland software was mostly written in Perl 4.036.
I still remember space.c and the "hidden" compiler we used to bootstrap gcc, plus relinking when the IP address had to change. I kept the original documentation around (lots of interesting books) and have a "/u" zfs mountpoint just for memories' sake. We also used an IPX client to access Netware but I can't remember the name[0].
We wrote a stupid daemon that would die each time you pressed DEL on the console, possibly because we had no clues about proper daemons back then. All in all, it was kind of fun :)
