Joe Barrera at 8:18 AM -0800 on 1/31/97, came up with this:

* Are you guys aware that Mach ("MacMach") was running on 680xx Macs sometime
* around 1990? David Bowman I think is the name of the guy who was
* principally working on the port while at physically at Carnegie-Mellon.
* (Damn, unless I'm confusing him with a character from 2001. Or maybe they
* really have the same name.) If, like, anyone cares, I can look back through
* my archived mail and try to find more info about this.
*
* Now of course, at that time, NeXTStep (also at the time on 680xx) + MacMach
* = instant MacNextStep. How different things could have been...
*

Yeah, however very few if any Mac people have ran it. The company selling
it is called MachTen out of Santa Barbara. At MacWorld they had it running
on both a desktop Mac and PowerBook with the AfterStep interface.

Shades of things to come...
