List-Id: The Unix Heritage Society mailing list Archived-At: List-Archive: List-Help: List-Owner: List-Post: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: Thank you to whoever added me to this list! I have been a UNIX & C disciple since 1982. I spent much of the 1980s=20 writing UNIX, BSD, and OSF/1 device drivers. I ran "madhat", the first=20 public access USENET site in Huntsville. Madhat was a homebuilt 68000=20 running Unisoft's port of System V Release 0. I also set up "uahcs1",=20 the first UNIX and USENET host at The University of Alabama in=20 Huntsville (UAH). Uahcs1 was a Unisys U7000, originally known as the=20 Power 6/32 minicomputer developed by Computer Consoles Inc., running=20 their port of 4.3 BSD. During my career I have worked with UNIX v7, UNIX System V, AIX, BSD,=20 HPUX, IRIX, Linux, MkLinux, OSF/1, Solaris, SunOS, Ultrix, and Xenix, as= =20 well as variants such as Mach, Minix, and Xinu. All of my currently=20 active systems run various versions of macOS. In the past my home office= =20 was a Microsoft-Free Zone (tm) but alas too many clients insisted on the= =20 use of "Word" so I was forced to compromise and partially surrender to=20 the Dark Side (but only in a Windoze VM). One of my current hobby projects is building a RISC processor using 1980= =20 technology, specifically the Am2900 family of bit-slice components. I=20 call it Project Madhat. My goal is to perform as well as a VAX-11/780=20 at least for integer code. I hope it will eventually run 4.4 BSD. If=20 interested you can read about it here. http://www.xavax.com/madhat/ My professional work is fragmented. For years I've been developing a=20 Massively-Parallel Processor based on the NXP (formerly Freescale or=20 Motorola) T4240 which has 12 PowerPC e6500 cores and built-in Serial=20 RapidIO. The execution units will run a lean microkernel but the overall= =20 system will be managed by some flavor of UNIX. I don't currently have=20 any information about the MPP online without an NDA, but I would be=20 happy to answer general questions about it. I was recently motivated by the Russo-Ukraine war to start a company=20 called Trident Droneworks. It is developing systems for the Ukrainian=20 military. If interested you can read about that here. http://tridentdroneworks.com/ Thanks again for adding me. I look forward to discussing UNIX lore. =2D-=20 Phillip L Harbison
