Personally, I think there's too much UNIX in OSX. They not only took the
kernel, but the entire environment as well.
Otherwise, (this wioll keep us within the ten-year rule), it reminds me of
MiNT/MultiTOS. Incompetent OS programmers who can't make a functioning, full-
featured system of their own just take a kernel off the rack and add some
glue. Granted, OSX is an entirely new system of its own whereas MiNT retained
TOS capability. But it's a tried and old concept.

We have support for the PMAGC-B's on pmax right? That is a PixelVision based
card right? I see Bt 463, that chip looks bigger than the 21164! Just looking
at it makes me want to write an Xserver!
