The feeling when some of the Grand Masters and Architects of #UNIX mocks me for being crazy to run modern #NetBSD on decidedly-not-modern hardware while also pointing out how incredibly powerful this 386sx/486-class hardware is and what an absurdly huge amount of memory 16MB is compared to what they had while, you know, developing UNIX..

The O2, an entry level Unix workstation, was introduced in the mid 90s and came with a single MIPS CPU. Here, we see some baby Octanes, haha! It officially ran on IRIX UNix OS but also supported the Linux and BSD families of operating systems

I'm designing a sort of "fantasy #UNIX workstation" with parts available today in some sensible manner. 68020 based and an accelerated framebuffer for X.
The design uses ASICs where possible, the "chipset" will be FPGA based (probably a combination of iCE40s and one big ECP5, it will have PCI.
The goal is to support at least 2, maybe 4 68020 CPUs. Would you buy one for €300-500?
No commitment! Just wondering where to go! The most expensive chips have a minimum order of 25.

New semester, new version of the xv6 educational OS for RISC-V from MIT! This is accompanied by a new revision 5 of the xv6 book and–for the first time, I think–a Lions' Commentary-style code reader booklet!
A previous version switched to using the stimecmp extension instead of the regular CLINT timer, that was a bit of a surprise. So let's see what the changes in this new version are...
