Hi,
This sort of sounds like the system that a former company (IAE) donated
to Jordan when he was here in Arnhem at a FreeBSD meeting organized by
Wilco Bulte. I think it was called freefall??
There used to be pictures of the meeting online, but I can't seem to
find them.
Would be nice to know if that is the case, because then I'm really
impressed with the life time of that system...
Does anybody know if this is actually the case?
Based on what I've recently learned of the machine's history, it was
originally freefall, then became known as 'hub'.
You have any idea what is/was actual the hardware that was in the box?
If I remember correctly we gave Jordan a check for like 5000 guilders.
Which I guess would be 2500 us$ at that time. Which was not an enormous
amount of money, so even more impressive that the system lasted 18 years :)
I think it was a bit like my grandfather's axe..
A really great axe. we replaced the handle 3 times, the head four times
and put in a couple of new wedges, but it's a great axe that one!
