Folks, Just thought I'd post this here for fun.
I had heard of Onyx systems, a Z8000 UNIX system vendor. Recently I was contacted by someone in the Seattle area who claimed to have an unused Onyx systems 68010 system, perhaps a prototype. There is nothing about this I was able to find online. It came with distribution media on QIC tape- some generic looking (from the docs it came with) flavor of UNIX, which I am going to get help imaging. There is nothing on the hard drive (installed via ESDI to SCSI bridge)- it was never used or installed. I don't really need anything- the machine was new in box and works correctly. It has media- but I'd love more context if people know it. Sure, it's a very boring generic M68K box, but I can barely find any record of it existing. I know Onyx was originally bought by Corvus, who had their own 68K box- perhaps why this was killed. Cheers, - Ian (apologies for the Instagram image host, I don't want to dig it out right now but I will send proper pictures to anyone interested) https://www.instagram.com/p/6EcFCwNSz4/?taken-by=tr1nitr0n https://www.instagram.com/p/6GK8brNS_V/?taken-by=tr1nitr0n https://www.instagram.com/p/6GLEvutS_e/?taken-by=tr1nitr0n -- Ian Finder (206) 395-MIPS [email protected]
