Included are several Multibus cards from Omnibyte (OB68k1A, OB68k/INT), an additional memory card, a hard disk and one (8") floppy drive. The box was manufactured from Scientific Micro Systems. The OS is IDRIS (??). When I boot the system, a monitor program called MACSBUG is started and that's all what happens .. Does anybody know this box? Does anybody know IDRIS or can give some pointers to books, manuals, etc.? Does anybody know MACSBUG? Thanks in advance by Richard Meredit » Wed, 07 Dec 1994 05:18:40 The 68000 was originally marketed as 'Motorola Advanced Computer System on Silicon', aka MACSS, and MACSbug came from there. IDRIS ISTR was a clone or port of Unix version III, marketed by Whitesmiths, and much modified. Richard. by J. Janse » Tue, 06 Dec 1994 21:23:58 IDRIS was a Unix like operating system (i think System 7 modelled) that allowed running on a non MMU environment. EKF had it running (really) on a 68008 based system. I think EKF has the full documentation set (several thousand pages). Might be that Bernie Bardohl has the same box as you have, write to him [Wikipedia describes IDRIS as binary compatible with Unix V6, and developed initially by P.J. Plauger in 1978; then ported to several machines.] ================================== https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/drivers/ob68k1a.cpp describes support for the Omnibyte OB68K1A board, and apparently support for MIKSBUG and two OMNIBYTE ROM binaries.
