I'm looking forward to the answer from others on
this one - what's the
most weird/obscure UNIX hardware you ever used?
Many decades ago I evaluated MiniUnix running on a twin-floppy (8") DEC
box (can't remember which). I recall that sync(2) had to be patched to
not keep updating the inode for /dev/tty8 (the console) as otherwise it
would wear a hole in the floppy...
