Hi,
It does have ethernet and it normally runs dg-ux, which is a firm
of unix from data general.
The operating system was erased by the previous user who was paranoid
about security.
They also would not give me a copy of the software. However,
I am sure that there may be a member in the group who may have a contact
at CDHB in the computer dept. The
machine originally came from Canterbury District Health Board.
Stay cool

Some spare drives as well.Back in those days (Motorola CPUs) DG/UX was a great OS. They bundled many GNU tools, gcc being the main one. The machines were SOTA.

Many years ago i ported postgres to these machines, i remember seeing that the port still existed not long ago.Is there any way we can make this accessable to all (non) members. Will the OSTC be a place where someone can take their machine along, set it up on the LAN and have a play? Perhaps even remote access over the `net to a select few? Cheers, Rex
