After I got lites + 3.0 on netbsd running on qemu with networking to show how painfully slow it was, it felt like I was the last person on earth to care about this stuff.

I think the gnumach folks had some interesting trip on rehosting Mach on oskit to get all those Linux 2.0 drivers but they never could get the push to x86_64.  I guess it's hard to compete in the Hurd cathedral vs the Linux bazaar... So to speak.

Probably the more important stuff to archive and find is mailing lists although I don't know of anything surviving anywhere.  I guess it was deep underground as the internet lawyers were in fear about emailing patches and having AT&T show up at their door demanding new borns.

Oh well such is life when you are chasing evelotionary dead ends.  It's not like a 4.3BSD os is going to set the world on fire, but then again I did save Quasijarious from the digital dumpster as well.

Hello!
And oddly enough the Finnish site ftp://nic.funet.fi maintains a
collection of Mach related items at
ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/doc/OS/Mach/ and and at
ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/mach/  and a place named LYX contains Mach at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/mach/ Ideally it is just a duplicate of the
first one from earlier. And then Google gets lost. It also includes
several hits to Jason's work, but after that Google gets lost.
