Well, i already heard about works on impementing a UNIX-like System
with a MACH-Kernel on transputers. The system was called CHORUS.
In fact the only thing i know about this is that it was going to be
implemented for T9000 (How strange). The article is published
by Chorus Systemes. You can retrieve the postscriptfile from
opera.chorus.fr. I'm sorry but i've completely forgotten
the text-identifying number. Therefore you'll have to retrieve
the index first. I think the article is nearly a year old.
That was the last i've heard about MACH for transputers.
I wonder why nobody else tried with MACH for transputers.
