It was slow, it was buggy, and DEC dropped support for it fairly quickly after it was released. It was never ported to any of the R4k machines. Customers were not happy. Anyway, the official release announcement ( https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!original/bit.listserv.esl-l/BovGe3q9yWE/cqlcCYfxmbAJ ) mentions a few layered products, none of which I have ever seen in the wild. No OSI implementation is mentioned. Looking through a list of layered products for Ultrix from mid-1994, I see a few OSI-related things: MIPS: DEC OSI Application 1.1 GZSAA Developer's Toolkit DECnet/OSI for ULTRIX 5.1A YT9AA OSI Application Toolkit 5.1A OSIAP_RISC VAX: DECnet/OSI for ULTRIX 5.1A 716AA OSI Application Toolkit 5.1A OSIAP_VAX If you want more documentation on any of these, contact me off-list. -Henry > On Wed, Aug 28, 2019 at 7:05 AM Jason Stevens < > jsteve@superglobalmegacorp.com> wrote: > >> >> >> I have OSF/1 1.0 running on gxemul … >> >> >> >> Any idea on where/ how to configure OSI? >> >> >> >> >> >> OSF/1 Release 1 (OSFMIPS) console >> >> >> >> login: root >> >> Last login: Thu Aug 29 06:03:07 on console >> >> DEC OSF/1 V1.0 (Rev. 166); Sun Jun 07 19:23:34 CDT 1970 >> >> DEC OSF/1 V1.0 Worksystem Software (Rev. 161) >> >> >> >> # find / -name 'osi*' -print >> >> # >> >> >> >> *From: *Peter Jeremy >> *Sent: *Wednesday, August 28, 2019 2:47 PM >> *To: *Wesley Parish >> *Cc: *TUHS main list >> *Subject: *Re: [TUHS] If not Linux, then what? >> >> >> >> On 2019-Aug-28 18:19:21 +1200, Wesley Parish >> >> wrote: >> >> >Speaking of OSI stacks, I know 4.4BSD Lite came with some fragments of >> >> >one.
