  1. Back In The Day - early/mid 90s - I saw (or possibly ) demo a version of on some funky PC hardware where you could add and remove physical CPUs and memory on the fly. Does anyone remember what that hardware was?

    And does anyone know when this feature will be added to ? It's just that my testing VM has just started swapping, and I'd like to allocate more memory without having to stop it.

  2. Back In The Day - early/mid 90s - I saw #SCO (or possibly #Novell) demo a version of #Unixware on some funky PC hardware where you could add and remove physical CPUs and memory on the fly. Does anyone remember what that hardware was?

    And does anyone know when this feature will be added to #QEMU? It's just that my #FreeBSD testing VM has just started swapping, and I'd like to allocate more memory without having to stop it.

  6. Travelling tomorrow and I've sat up all night fighting with UnixWare and qemu 😤

    7.1.1 recognises the IDE CDROM as primary slave at least, but 7.1.3 and 7.1.4 refuse to in any configuration.

    Tried SCSI and it still wouldn't install, yet it's able to load the HBA from the disc so fsck knows what's wrong.

  8. Выживание на SCO UnixWare 7 в 2025 году

    Привет, это oldzoomer. Сегодня я расскажу про то, какова "на вкус" использование одного из самых "ортодоксальных" UNIX-систем, которая дожила до нынешних дней благодаря усилиям компании Xinuos , и которая до сих пор поддерживается ими же.

  12. @symbology @SDF The problem is, no one uses a true Unix any more. #FreeBSD & #NetBSD rewrote themselves, plus they didn’t keep the truly blesses SysVr4 init: jdebp.uk/FGA/unix-service-acce
    Linux is an abomination of amateur implementations of misheard ideas from #plan9, #solaris & #minix.
    #illumos remains true, and like anything truly pure, no one wants any.
    And surely no one would touch SCO /Xinuos #UnixWare or #OpenServer without lawyers present…
