It's me again, probably more calmly unhinged.
Fandom-drifter, great interest in anything that can turn into a puzzle, #Multics, #UNIX, #CP_M are the OS families i deal with.
Here we go again…

That's a lot of board space dedicated to the BASIC ROM…

#Autodesk still has a strong hand in the video-game content creation market, although the modern autodesk would i think be confused by this oddball usage (and "abuse")…

The closest to that in the states is to have a Raspberry Pi 400 or lower running RISC-OS (The OS of the Archimedes). Funny thing is that RISC-OS is still developed to this day by the @riscosopen.bsky.social project, and as of now the greatest development priority is getting it to be fully 64-bit.

Sad note, but #HPUX support has been dropped for current CDE (And so too #XENIX somehow…).

Last i've heard of #radioshack; it fell into the hands of the "Unicomer Group", who seem to not give a single thought or F to DIY folks…

There's two major versions of SunOS, one BSD-based & one SysV-based (which did support 64-bit hardware).

Funny thing is, there is a community supported variant under the name of #illumos.

There had been attempts at the past (or at least studies on the idea). Most notable was a "gay bomb" that was made without the knowledge that the "sacred band of Thebes" existed long before all of this.
This is more or less telling people to look out for new refined & evolved chemical weapons.

Somehow, my mind says "Sun keyboard", and yet there's no meta, no compose, and no help key.

And the closest "major" supporter with a "heritage" that could have done a better job marketing (i think) turned back into their old ways being a IP troll.

I don't know how, but he somewhat resembles a Mudokon to me…

What's the aim of this?

What about the Amigas & Atari ST's (and thus also the Acorn Archimedes)?

But due to how badly my life's been, i have to wait…
