There were some cool concepts in Domain/OS, but for the most part,
it was just weird and horrible.
And at ETA Systems here in St. Paul, from about 1983 to 1989, we had
the largest Domain "ring" Apollo had ever built. We pushed the total
node count to something like 4x or 6x what they had ever anticipated.
We had to devise little "transfer switches" that could isolate the
network, keeping smaller rings running when the big ring was foobar'd.
I think we ended up selling those transfer switches back to Apollo :-)
