Hi!
We just recovered an HP APOLLO Series 400 in our computer museum,
and we got the installation tapes of DOMAIN/OS. It seem a very
particular flavour of BSD 5.3. We also made a dump of the
tapes, to preserve it. :D
Does someone know more about it? What about licensing? Is
it covered by some sort of hobbyist license?
Kisses to everybody! :)

Ah... fond memories. Our CAD/CAM systems at Philips information systems
were these Domain OS boxes.

No clue.

Hm, can you send a picture first? ;-)

My memory, which is fading, is that DOMAIN/OS was previously Aegis,
and was not actually a Unix at all, although it had (or later had,
perhaps) a lot of compatibility. It has all sorts of cool features.

You could have DomainOS take a BSD or a SysV personality. Very interesting.
There was also some fileserver functionality that allows
//fileserver/some/path/somefile style access to everything we had hanging
off the tokenring network.
Rather neat.

Very tangentially, Masscomp's RTU (real time Unix) could do this
too. Other than that I think it is definitely something best
forgotten, as it was pretty horrid (although my memory may be biassed
by the awfulness of the HW)
