I did a considerable amount of work on a Sage at the University of Wash.
Fisheries Research Institute a few years back. We had a UN*X called Idris from
Whitesmith's that ran on it under the multi-user bios. Although
it had lots of funny stuff in it (it is even less like SysV than Xenix), it was
fine as long as you didn't try to port anything serious. Kermit ported on one
compile, and a few other things as well. I must caution you, however, on Idris:
some programming gymnastics that are commonplace occurances under SysV WILL NOT
WORK under Idris; many times I gave up and went back to (ugh) UCSD P-System,
since it, although slow, was very versatile (the Pascal compiler is THE best
I've EVER used, and the FORTRAN wasn't bad either). If all else failed, I could
always use the Assembler.
STRIDE also VAR's a version from UniSoft, although I don't know if it runs
on an unmodified Sage or not. My recommendation would be to try to get in touch
with STRIDE and see if they can tell you any more about it.

Unfortunately, this is now impossible -- Stride Micro (aka MicroSage, aka Sage Microcomputers) is now out of business. They filed for Chapter 11 a couple of months ago, and shortly thereafter closed their doors. Sage and Stride owners are now orphans. I have contacts with some of the original Sage/Stride people through the UCSD Pascal Users' Society (USUS) {Thanks for the backhanded compliment, Sam!}, and can pass email messages to them. I posted a copy of the original message <2162@julian.uwo.ca> on MUSUS, the USUS Forum on CompuServe, and got a pointer to Microware, the makers of OS9, a 68000-based Uni-clone. They are located in Des Moines, IA, and their OS is pretty good, but real UNIX it ain't. No other replies were forthcoming. -- Sam'l Bassett -- Semantic Engineering for fun & profit. 34 Oakland Ave., San Anselmo CA 94960; DDD: (415) 454-7282 UUCP: {hplabs,pacbell,lll-crg}!well!samlb; Internet: samlb@well.uucp Compuserve: 71735,1776; WU Easylink ESL 6284-3034; MCI SBassett
