[net.unix-wizards] Query - UN*X on Prime computer?

dpg@busch.UUCP (David Grossman) (11/02/84)

[]
Does anyone know anything about UN*X on a Prime? We're investigating the
possibility of running such a beast here since we already have some Primes
running other OS's. I believe I saw something in this group a few months
ago, but unfortunately I didn't save it. In fact I don't really know if it
even exists yet. If you have any info, please mail to me. Naturally if
there's enough response, I'll summarize to the net.

	Thanks,

You should pick up a copy of Computerworld magazine dated September 26, 1984,
volume 18, number 39b. The entire issue is devoted to UNIX. One of the main
articles deals with which hardware vendors support UNIX. PRIME presently is not one of them. Try perusing the issue. The article above begins on page 10.

With Gerald O'nions (now go@ist.uucp) my third year undergraduate project was to
port v7 unix onto a Prime P750.  It needed about 3-4 months more before I feel
happy letting users on it, well moderately happy :-).  It was done from scratch,
no C compiler was available and we had little info on the hardware.

We'd probably have finished it if we could have had machine time during working
hours but the users wouldn't let us.
