Tektronix had a Unix variant called uTek that ran on a number of
workstations that they produced in the 1980s - perhaps that's what
you're thinking of? These started out with Nat Semi processors, but
later production systems were 68Ks IIRC. Most of them ran uTek,. but
some also ran a SmallTalk-based system and were sold as AI boxes. As
you'd expect from Tektronix products, the graphics were superb for their
day. The uTek boxes ran the X Window system and had Tektronix' own
window manager.

Does anyone know anything about this? What I *think* it was was
something that ran on a logic analyser (?) made by Tektronix, which
had some kind of PDP-11 inside them. I suspect it was actually 7th
edition or something similar in rather light disguise. I came across
one of these in the early 80s but never used it, hence the vagueness
of my memory.
