Still cooler than running it on x86 stuff. ;)
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 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.
