That's incorrect -- DOOM was developed
on NeXT hardware.
Yep. In '93 (IIRC), I bought the last of the new NeXT magneto-optical
cartridge that Canon had and was selling them via Usenet. One of the buyers
was some guy named John Carmack from some company called Id Software. He
paid by check and, trying to decide whether to wait for the check to clear,
I asked some co-workers also from Dallas if they had heard of him or the
company (they hadn't).
As far as Doom, not long after I became a Sun employee in Mountain View in
'94-95, we played Doom Arena, a networked, multiplayer version of Doom. It
saturated the network, so could only be played after business hours. It ran
on SPARCstations under Solaris.

As I understand it, the SGIs were the development platform for DOOM, and
the PC version is the 'port'.
