Hi,

just recently I found this archive:

https://vetusware.com/download/OSF1%20Source%20Code%201.10/?id=11574

this is a package of source code for DEC OSF/1 V 1.0. I knew that this is
supposed to run on DECstations (with MIPS), in fact I have a DS3100
running it myself.
However, one thing really puzzled me: This archive apparently includes
support for i386. There is even a kernel build log from 1990.
Now that was news to me. I never realized that this worked on i386.
Can anybody here tell any stories about this?

regards,
Dennis
