For example there was Bull’s Chorus which I seem to recall was based on Mach or a competing microkernel (it was a very long time ago and I used it for no mare than about two hours..). I know that it didn’t run Unix but I believe Nixdorf Computer was the large computer company at that time. https://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/memory-storage/8/264/1115 https://www.hnf.de/en/permanent-exhibition/exhibition-areas/nixdorf-pioneer-of-decentralized-data-processing/the-products-of-nixdorf-computer-ag.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixdorf_Computer > > I am rather saddened by the fact that there is so much about all the Unix (and not only Unix) history of computing in the USA and so very little in Europe. I wouldn’t even know where to start, to be honest, all I have as a history is the Italian side from my father and his other mad friends and colleagues in Milan. So little of it is recorded, never mind written down. Maybe here. http://www.technikum29.de/en/ Let me know what you find out regarding the Nixdorf 820.
