But going too far in that direction may have been a problem too. My understanding is that Omron's Luna 88K line was very closely tied to the education market. It ran a customized version of Mach, so in some sense I suppose they were tied to CMU from the get-go, and my understanding is that they courted the education market heavily. Oberlin College was given, outright, a four processor 88K Luna. Today I'm not sure you could find a running Luna if you wanted to. -Henry --0000000000003f1c15057f8bfc62 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
