I confess I have a soft spot for these machines - the road not taken is always tempting to explore. Sadly, it didn't do well on the market, even less in Europe, so there are very few working machines around me and even fewer floating around on eBay. :-(
- pseudohadamard 8mo agoI liked the architecture, but my main exposure to it was the DG AvIiIion or however they wanted you to spell it. Chiefly notable for running a Unix, DGUX, that made AIX look good. That takes some doing.
- rbanffy 8mo agoWe need better emulators to preserve that. I’ve never experienced DGUX from up close.
- pseudohadamard 8mo agoOh, it's easy to experience. Go out and buy a pack of 4" nails, then hold them in front of you with the pointy ends towards you and run headlong into a wall or other hard surface. This will give you the DG/UX experience without needing to set up an emulator.
