Yea, later on, all that fancy "shutdown -h" really made the sync's unnecessary.
The syncs were never actually necessary.

Generally speaking, yes. ;)
Slightly changing subjects, I don't recall ever seeing the system in question. The first 68K *nix box I ever played with was a Masscomp. An MC-500 if memory serves. Is that the machine we're talking about here?
No, the AT&T UNIX PC 7300, a.k.a. the 3B1. It was by no means the first 68K-based UNIX system, of course. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
