Does anyone know of any company (including startups) that is building a UNIX workstation or a multi-user UNIX box based on the NSxx032 chips? Of special interest would be any in the Boston area. !decvax!bbncca!schoff

The first thing to check out is the LMC Mega Micro.
call (312) 580-0250 for the Logical MicroComputer Co.
see my response to note 5 above.rentsch@unc.UUCP (Tim Rentsch) (04/02/84)
Mosaic, a new company, is doing interesting things with NSxxx32, including some unix-like stuff if I remember correctly.

#R:bbncca:-64300:uiucuxc:25800006:000:255 uiucuxc!beaucham Apr 4 19:43:00 1984 Someone complained to me that my reference to "Note 5" was obscure because it referred to a note on a local net. Well, I am a newcomer to Unix, but it was my impression that we all see the same Note #'s on the Usenet. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

#R:bbncca:-64300:uiuccsb:4500004:000:747 uiuccsb!grunwald Apr 5 08:44:00 1984 (a) Notes is only one of the interfaces to the Net. Many people (still) use "postnews/readnews" which is an interface much more similar to EIES (if you ever used that). Notes were modeled after the PLATO notes file system (which, I believe, you are familiar with). (b) Just as on PLATO networked notes, the distributed environment makes it difficult to maintain correct note numbers. This is due to the relative autonomy of the receiving sites. I can delete a note on my site, and that deletion will not show up on your site. Also, due to compressing a notesfile, the note number may change over the life-time of the note. In general, it is best to refer to notes with a title and (if possible) by a date, although a title suffices.

#R:bbncca:-64300:uiucuxc:25800007:000:190 uiucuxc!beaucham Apr 8 12:27:00 1984 So it turns out we all see different note numbers--o.k., sorry about my reference to "note 5". i meant to reference the above note "LMC 16032: Any" to which i wrote a couple of responses.
