many hours to compose a sane account).
I was responsible for the drivers in the RISC products group (88110 before PPC) and
working
with the Pink kernel people was bad from the Apple side of things as well. It didn't
surprise
me that it all went away and Taligent became an applications framework. Neither Taligent
or
Kaleida ended well.
Before I left Apple, I tried to find copies of Pink/Taligent documentation, and it had all
been flushed.
