What with the $50 million in university mass orders for the Macintosh, and the imminent introduction of non-Apple hard disks for it, why wouldn't Berkeley do the 4.2 BSD port itself ? Then again, does Berkeley have the resources for much UNIX work these days ? MIT ported the "portable C compiler" to the 68000, and did other 68000 software (often as Master's Projects and the like); maybe they're a reasonable choice. I don't know if either school is among the institutions handing big bags of money to Apple for Macs. -- Clay Phipps -- {allegra,amd70,cbosgd,dsd,floyd,harpo,hollywood,hpda,ihnp4, magic,megatest,nsc,oliveb,sri-unix,twg,varian,VisiA,wdl1} !fortune!phipps

At present, MIT is not handing "big bags of money" to Apple to buy their MacIntosh. They just received a *pile* of equipment from HP (yay!) for use in one of their undergraduate courses, and it appears that for now they won't be needing any more.
