Hi Jochen and others I looked at *BSD but it seemed to only support the Ultra 1E and not the Ultra 1. Tried Ubuntu Linux, that died while trying to partition the disks. Now installing Aurora (a Redhat spinoff), that seems to be working nicely. Thanks! Yea, it's an R3K. I'm surprised nobody commented on the SAM Coupe. First time I've even heard of it, to me it's one of the more interesting machines in the haul, just available" point of view. The Acorn RISC PC also seems to be something a lot of work went into. Pity it dead ended. W
