Out of the box running strings on stuff shows the 1984-1985 AT&T-IS 1985-1987 UniSoft Corporation strings. So it's got to be PCC. The F77 credits Apple, Adobe, AT&T-IS, Motorola, SUN, CSRG, and Unisoft. In the A/UX 0.7 bui

the SUN-1 was based on the SUN (Stanford University Network) board, but I can't find anything concrete on the SUN board (Also by Andy) other than it existing, and apparently 'cheap/free' to license? Apparently it formed

Have you ever played with this: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/aux-apple-unix-68k-version-... I found it interesting that it mentions both ‘Milwaukee‘, and Cayman "brac" ... Here on the Jasmine 80. Seems li

Milwaukee is mentioned in the A/UX 0.7 build, so I was wondering if it was more 'BigMac' or something else entirely. It's a shame more of this is buried in legend.

glad you got the 65scribe video! I'm emailing someone who did support for the ANS stuff so I'll follow up with something there, although I don't have the machine/software.. not that I'd have the space for such a mon

Apple bough a port of UniSoft SYSVr2 to the Apple platoform and dubbed it A/UX. Version 2 onward were technically significant as ToolBox and Finder had been ported to Unix and allowed MacOS apps to run on top of Unix. They didn'

which to me was surprising about A/UX, you got both C89 and F77!

also Qemu is mainlining Quadra 800 support for 3.0.1 https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=11326 On a test of compiling about 4MB of source code, Qemu is 7x faster than Shoebill!

more so the platform + the OS... I guess being in for 4k for a base machine (probably 2k more to make it usable) 500/1000 more isn't going to break it, but 386BSD machines while far less usable would be a heck of a lot cheaper.

My biggest complaint is that it makes it damned near impossible to read. Why must it become inaccessible to people with bad eye sight? My feelings aren't that fragile

Xenix dev tools can produce x86 real mode objects. Some dev kits even have the full linker and libraries. The original Microsoft C for the 386 was a Xenix product although the OS/2 1632 cross compiler was certainly around in 1991 when

Cross compiling from Minix386 to downloading SLS and going native. What a wild ride.

And yet we mitigated y2k. All with publicly traded companies. The reward was simply being open for business on 1/1/2001 without slipping a beat. Sometimes I think as an industry we hyped too much and over delivered giving the imp

They do, it’s how the schools are designed to encourage bullying and bearings from staff and teachers. It was not one school or one teacher. Of course Canadians just want to pretend it was just one group they screwed with, I’m just simply p

Canadian schools are pure trash. The only people surprised by all of this are as always Canadians. They treated left handed people pretty shitty too but luckily they didn’t get the chance to send us to concentration camps to die. I’m defin

Put your sensitive data on other people’s servers and this happens. If people cared they’d host it inside, on the other hand, that would mean being responsible for your own data which is not a popular idea these days

What to do though?! How do we possibly get 2+ million upset about this? Clearly they can’t arrest 1/3rd the population but it’s feeling like 2047 came early.

Last ones to publish free. It’s over the CCP and open sympathetic parties own all the rest of the media. We are totally screwed.

You need to see if you have been served, as it’ll require a signature, not just something in the mail. It’s patent so you can’t file an anti slapp, but until you have been properly served you need to find hearing dates and BE THERE, and dem

Interestingly no copies of GCC 1.0 survived. Oddly enough 0.9 survived but 1.0 to 1.20 are all missing. You would have thought stuff like that would have had historical significance when new but so much of early FSF is lost.

It was some repackage of Netscape and plugins and some dialup from mid 90s. I remember the name as it was so ludicrous to think the internet fit in a box. Meanwhile a decade of usenet is only 10gb.

Time scales too. Remember how long the death March to Chicago was? It was 1993 and NT had finally shipped, Linux was slightly useful and this was OS/2’s era to shine as Microsoft had stagnated with no consumer releases of any meaning
