This brings back fond memories. Applications running on the main computer
downloaded custom code to run on the Blit--this was the biggest
challenge--writing an application to run on two machines at once, with two
different OS's, different hardware and different endian-ness. When it was
working, it was great, but debugging new code could be a real challenge.

That one has the Bell Labs USB modification, and works like a charm under
Windows 7! :)

I used a
5620 for a while, hooked up to a BSD 4.1 Vax. The vax was
overloaded
so things were slow, but it was a relatively pleasant environment. The
keyboard
was really nice, and there are still people who pine for the 3-button
round
Depraz (sp?) mouse... :-)
What does a Blit 3-button round Depraz mouse look like? I've searched,
but alas I have not found.
