Because it's there: 5 operating systems running on a IIfx (at the same time)

A random thought popped into my head this evening, and having nothing better to do (well, ok, I have quite a few things better to do to be honest) I decided to go with the impulse. The idea? I have a number of nubus Mac coprocessors and accelerators, amongst them: - An Orange386 PC coprocessor (16Mhz 80386, 4MB ram, CGA graphics) - A Radius Rocket Stage II (Basically a Quadra on a 12" nubus card, complete with 40Mhz CPU and 32mb of RAM) - A Symbolics MacIvory III (The coolest coprocessor ever -- a lisp machine on a card!) Could I run these all at the same time in my trusty Macintosh IIfx? The answer: Yes. (warning, 1600x1200 image): http://yahozna.dyndns.org/scratch/random/5OS.png That's a 40Mhz 68030 IIfx running System 7.6.1, the Radius Rocket running System 7.1, the Orange386 running DOS 5.0, the MacIvory running Genera 8.3, and just for good measure the IIfx is also running Tenon's MachTEN (BSD 4.3 running as a Mac OS process). I didn't leave it running like that for very long, as it's probably more than a bit stressful on the poor IIfx's power supply. But I just had to try it, thought you guys might get a kick out of it... - Josh
