Where I used to work, there was an IBM PS/2 model 80
that was installed
in a closet to do coordination of manufacturing equipment status and
utilization reports when it was new. It ran DOS. It was deinstalled in
May 2001. It had been running continuously without a crash, except for
losses of power, and that only happened twice in the same year, in 1992.
I can't resist this one....(:+}}... I ran a Model 80 with AIX 1 from 1988
through 2000, with nary a burp, except for an HD that dived after about 5
years. Dang, them PS/2 Model 80's are indestructible, just like Olden
VAXentoyz.....(:+\\...... The machine in question is still running in my
basement, after I bought it from our surplus for 5 buckeroos, alongside
the MVII critters.....(:+}}....
Peace... Sridhar
Right On!
Good ol' Unixy Junque just trucks along, forever!
