I really hope it performed better than ULTRIX performs in a simulator...
Much to my surprise a couple weeks ago, I found the DECstation 5000
that I bought to run NetBSD. I thought I'd dumped it on Jim Willing
over a decade ago.
I still have a huge soft spot for DECstations, I really regret getting
rid of all of mine. Whattayagonnado.
It makes me feel like a real whippersnapper to admit it, but ULTRIX 4.2
on a DECstation 3100 was my first introduction to any flavor of UNIX.
There was a small NFS cluster of three DECstations on campus, supporting
remote logins for a couple hundred users (not simultaneously,
obviously). It's where I cut my teeth.
You never forget your first UNIX.
