My first glimpse of a unix shell was a bit obscure and late in the game (it was obsolete
at the time) but I'm curious if someone here can confirm/guess what it was. It was
large desktop machine and I can't quite remember if it was side by side (think full
height) 8" floppy drives.
It was at a computer repair store as something to play/learn on. Unfortunately this was
probably mid 90s so no help as to the actual year the machine was in production. I had
always wanted to buy it off the store but they disappeared before I had any paying job or
opportunity.
I'm guessing it was a Vax but since I haven't really seen may first hand other
than my 3000 did they come as 8" floppy desktops?
