[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] Mach/BSD on RS/6000?

jet@karazm.math.uh.edu (j. eric townsend) (05/03/90)

Well? :-)

Seriously, we have a site liscense, and don't care at all about
any of IBM's "enhancements" to UNIX.  We want BSD, quick and dirty,
and we'd really like to have Mach as well.

We have an 8CE (8 RT's in parallel in a box) that runs BSD/Mach on
the host RT as well as all of the nodes, so it *has* been done, just
not on the RS/6000...

Email, I'll summarize if there's interest.

Amen!  I've seen some of those "enhancements."  Sorry, I don't have
anything more constructive to say.

As was discussed on comp.os.mach, there is a port of Mach to the
RS/6000 being done jointly by IBM and CMU's ITC.  Organizations
seriously interested in getting access to this port should contact
John Howard, Director of the ITC.  His mail address is

John.Howard@andrew.cmu.edu

Information on Mach distributions for the VAX, Sun 3, IBM RT and i386
can be received by contacting:
