""" - -additional=""" -## History of NetBSD/mac68k - -[Allen Briggs](http://www.ninthwonder.com/~briggs/) was the port -maintainer of NetBSD/mac68k up until the release of [NetBSD -1.2](../../releases/formal-1.2/). He handed this position over to Scott -Reynolds effective as of the 1.2 release. Here is Allen's story of the -origins of NetBSD/mac68k: - -*Once upon a time...* - -> [Brad Grantham](http://www.plunk.org/~grantham/), got to thinking that -> a cool, cheap workstation with a decent interface, tools, and -> capabilities would be a lot of fun to build and sell and was just what -> the world needed. Well, he started talking to some friends and they -> decided that a nifty first step would be to make some money by selling -> a real cheap Unix for the old Mac II's (that were required for CS -> majors at Virginia Tech for a couple of years -- basic config? 80MB -> HD, 2MB RAM, A/UX 1.0/1.1--later upgraded to 2.0). -> -> At this time, Berkeley Networking Release 2 (Net/2) was available on -> the Internet and 386BSD 0.0 had recently been released, so that looked -> like a handy place to start. Brad and [Lawrence -> Kesteloot](http://www.teamten.com/lawrence/) spent a lot of time and -> sweat getting the system to almost work--relieving stress by killing -> earwigs. They got the system up to single-user mode, but hit a slump -> that Chris Caputo broke. Chris also did a significant amount of work -> to get the system to be self-hosting and read/write SCSI at a decent -> rate. About this time, there was lots of wind about great things to -> come from 386BSD 0.2, but there was also these new system, NetBSD, -> that seemed to be going somewhere. Chris began to merge the existing -> code to NetBSD's 0.8 release. -> -> -> Well, that summer (1993) saw several changes: Lawrence went off to -> grad school; Chris went to Microsoft and got married; Brad moved to -> California; and [Allen Briggs](http://www.ninthwonder.com/~briggs/) -> and Michael Finch started working on the system instead of just -> hanging around like spectators. They got MacBSD merged into NetBSD 0.8 -> by the time that NetBSD had progressed to 0.9... At Christmas that -> year, Brad and Lawrence got back together and had a hacking session -> with Mike in Mike's apartment. This led to support for a few more -> systems and was generally considered to be a Good Thing. -> -> Allen took on the responsibility of keeping the mac68k code up to date -> and managed to do so while also making some improvements and merging -> in the occasional contributed changes. - -Quotes included in an early release of MacBSD ---------------------------------------------- - -> "The best book on programming for the layman is \`Alice in -> Wonderland'; but that's because it's the best book on anything for the -> layman." -> -> -- Fortune -> -> "Just about every computer on the market today runs Unix, except the -> Mac (and nobody cares about it)." -> -> -- Bill Joy 6/21/85 - -""" - ]] [[!tag tier2port]]
