>>>a single man behind a computer What was the computer?

  Jans desktop was for the time pretty powerful, there were quite a few servers there as well (> 30). The machines were mostly powered by 486/33, on a micronics motherboard, adaptec controllers (1542) to hook up drives. Using the 286 version of QnX, all the joys of 'mixed model' programming. QnX took forever to release their 32 bit version (this was the main reason I wrote a clone). Funny that I still remember those details after all these years.

    There is nothing like remembering your first host controller. Mine was a Adaptec 2940 (PCI bus, SCSI) that came out in 1994, it was so well made that you can still buy it today, almost after 20 years.
