I remember it was a very clean UNIX implementation. Nice locking structure, easy to debug, etc... Locus was working on different projects with Ultrix, Tru64, VMS, AIX, SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX, Apollo, DG's UX, some work for Pr1me, ISC's 386/ix, Intel's 386 port, SVR4 for the AT&T/UI guys, and Intel's Paragon at the same time. At one point, I had the OS release schedules for HP, DEC and Sun all pasted on the wall behind my desk. I used to say LCC got to see everyone's dirty laundry in those days. As I said, I do remember the DG Unix re-implementation was very easy to work on (I will not say which one we cursed the most). > The DG ethernet card has a 82586 on board. > As I said, many beers ago. I'm undoubtedly mixed up a couple of the systems, since we had so many we worked with in those days. I remember the AMD chip was a lot easier to program than the Intel device. That said, I suspect that I have the docs on the Intel chips somewhere, but it sounds like others have the DG docs which are going to be better for simh purposes. Clem
