NEXTSTEP 3.3
ran on PA-RISC?
Better yet it ran on SPARC. By far the fastest NS platform. A SM81 in a
SPARCStation 20 with the sx board is pretty much the ultimate NeXT box.
There is nothing out of the black hardware that came close
...but it was nowhere near as COOL. (and this coming from a Sun lover!)
There was no DSP, for example. I did some neat stuff with that DSP chip.
A guy in my office ran NeXTSTEP on a SPARCstation-5 (85MHz version I
think). It was screaming fast on that machine. I ported soooo much software
to NeXTSTEP on his machine, telnetted in from my desktop SPARCstation down
the hall.
