Apparently, if you do it right, you can >even get it outside the USA. Contact the MACH people at CMU! Incorrect. CMU, with the help of some Sequent developers, ported a version to the Balance some years ago, but it is an old kernel version and was never (for the most part) released externally. As far as I know, CMU has not done a port to the Symmetry, and given that mt. Xinu is taking over commercial distribution of Mach, I wouldn't expect such a thing to occur. The last time I talked to anybody at Sequent about Mach, the answer I got was that, although certain parts of Mach (like the VM system) would be explored, Sequent was quite happy with Dynix. I don't believe that Mach sources are allowed to be exportedbinaries I'm not sure about. Somebody from mt. Xinu can enlighten us to that regard. ...
