Mach has been ported to the Macintosh II by CMU. I don't know what the immediate distribution plans are, but we should see something in the next few months. Unfortunately for many, the standard Mach distribution from CMU is on 9track tape. Not very useful for more MacII people. Another problem is that a source license will be required since there is still AT&T material in the code. One might encourage Apple to think about switch from A/UX to Mach. [Yes I know it isn't a 'production' OS, but then who believes that A/UX is a production OS either.] People might also encourage Mt. Xinu to add MacIIs to the Mach support list (currently IBM-RTs, Sun-3, and uVaxen). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark A.

We don't believe this to be a coincidence.
