I had been working on the IBM Microkernel (was one of the original 6
people onthat team). It was eventually to form the basis of OS/2 for
PPC. The way thatthe microkernel project was structured was that most
of the "OS" was personalityneutral (e.g. could be used for Unix, OS/2,
DOS, etc) and then there was an OSpersonality that ran on top of the
infrastructure. OS/2 on PPC was supposed tobe the first to ship.
I think I read that it was based on CMU Mach -- is that right?
It did seem for a while that a lot of things were based on Mach, but
very few seemed to make it to market. NeXTstep and OSF/1, the only
version of which to ship AFAIK was DEC OSF/1 AXP, later Digital UNIX,
later Tru64.
MkLinux didn't get very far, either, did it?
