Whoa, good discussion! A few comments: - Chris: I don't remember if I was one of the critics back then. If so then I apologize. - A networked Unix "team" exhibit is very welcome at VCF East 2019 (we're no longer using version numbers). The more variety of hardware, programs, and *nix versions, the better! - We currently have a working AT&T 7300 and working NeXT Cube both displayed in the museum. - We have a motherlode of Counterpoint workstations, which (according to the ex-AT&T engineer who gave them to us) was a Unix system developed by Counterpoint and about 1,000 were made, but which were mostly landfilled by AT&T when the project got cancelled. Andy D. et al: happy to let you investigate these at our next workshop. On Fri, Jan 4, 2019, 10:19 AM Christian Liendo via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org wrote:

Did you have the Indigo display? 1990s SGI is absolutely vintage now :)
No, at VCF East 8.0 in 2012 we had a Indy, Octane, Indigo2 and an O2 networked playing BZFlag and Dogfight
This is a video of VCF and our setup at 56 seconds in.

There should be a nice display this year, I'm bringing my Personal Iris for one, prob a onyx plus others.
That would be pretty cool. Brian has a personal Iris, but we turned it on recently and blew up a capacitor.
Do you have a 3000UX? I used to have one but now I have to use an Emulator to experience it.
No, while I would like one, I am running out of room.
I worked for an Amiga store called Amagination in the 90s and we had one.
I remember when it came out and we demoed it at Columbia University.
I was a huge Commodore/Amiga guy around that time.
I have a plan to build it on the emulator then dd the image onto a SD card and then use the SCS2SD in my Amiga 3000 (not UX) to try and boot the real thing again.
Thats cool. I mean there really wasn't much you could do with it that I remember. But it was my first real intro to Unix.
