But ... (vainly attempting to pass the buck) a certain Phil Greenspun
came over to the UK to have a hack on our 3600 in about 1983. It was his
assertion that the original intention had been to have a wee unix
processor available in the 3600 console.
"Intention" is much too strong a word. However, the idea was certainly
discussed. Mostly it was in jest at the high degree of overkill involved,
but people did discuss what one might DO with a unix in ones' console.
