There was a port of MGR https://hack.org/mc/mgr/ but I don't think it was widely used.
I ran MGR briefly. It was very lightweight compared to "ua" (User Agent, the native 3B1 windowing system).
The machine wasn't powerfull enough to run X.
Of course it was, it was just never ported. Sun-2 systems run X just fine, with the same CPU at the same clock rate. Dissimilar systems-level architectures, but most of it was CPU bound. The 3B1/7300 had already been around for a few years before X11 was released. X10 was in its heyday at the same time as the 3B1, but X10 wasn't getting anywhere near the attention as X11 did just a few years later. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
