1) I did not know that Sun made unix/pc/mac compatible
solutions that early; my experience with such products was
limited to Sun's PC-NFS, which I liked a lot at the time.
Yup, I have this software and hardward (TOPS Flashcard)
2) Why the name TOPS? Isn't that the name of an OS
used in
some PDP's, such as the legendary SIMTEL-20?
Because Sun didn't come up with the name. TOPS did. They were a
standalone company at one point, and Sun bought them and kept the name.
3) Inside the box, I found exactly the kind of
appletalk connector
that I ended up building from a Farallon phonenet connector
a few days ago.
Yup. The DE9 version was available as it was used on the PCs, as well as
most repeaters and some bridges. I have a few of that style (I didn't
offer them to you because I need them for my repeater and PCs on my
Appletalk network).
"Macintosh is a trademark of McIntosh Laboratory,
Inc., licensed
to Apple Computer, Inc."
So did McIntosh sue Apple over trademark infringement and win?
Did Apple eventually buy the Macintosh trademark from McIntosh?
I never knew about this; please clarify what happened.
This I don't know about. I know some of the details with the Apple
Records deal for the Apple name, but I didn't know anything about a deal
with McIntosh labs (is that the audio company?)
