A moronic attempt as using this funny qwerty layout thing. It should read SW (ServerWorks).
They must be the Unisys OEM machines. They are based on some crossbar-architecture called CMP that allows logical partioning, etc..
Yup, turns out they are.
I have talked to Unisys engineers on last Cebit who said that the NT (now W2k) port required a huge amount of work. Also I noticed that UnixWare^H^H^H^H^HOpenUnix needed work to run on it.
Well, I guess NetBSD is a good candidate, it has a nice portable MM system, linux might not be so bad either, but without knowledge of how this works, I am just guessing and probably still talking shit.
