The following is being typed in on my Sun Workstation running 4.2BSD. It
is offered without comment.....
Today's EE Times has the following story in today's issue:
National Offers 4.2 Unix on 32-Bit uP by Stan Baker
Santa Clara, CA - National Semiconductor Corp. is now
offering Genix 4.2, its port of the Berkeley 4.2 BSD Unix
operating system, for the company's 32000 32-bit microprocessor
line.
This is the first port of the Berkeley 4.2 version for a
microprocessor. And for the first time, it brings local-area
networking on Unix to microprocessors. The system is aimed at
designers of high-end engineering workstations
[Several very poorly written paragraphs follow on the
difference between 4.2 and System V.]
The company went to the Berkeley version of Unix originally,
as it was the only one to offer virtual memory. But that
has now become a feature of Unix versions from AT&T and
Microsoft. So far, no other microprocessor maker offers
a Unix implementation with demand-page virtual memory.
