    I’d kill to see Project Star Trek but well never see that.

    For those who don’t know it was Apple’s port to Intel before they decided that PPC was the way forward after m68k.

      I wouldn't be so pessimistic.

      There are a few copies of late shell builds floating around in private collections that have release predicated on the end of someone's legal liability (shall we euphemistically say). I don't know about complete system images, though.

      And those guys are all getting up there in years.

        Oh really? I had assumed it lost long long ago. Since it never got past internal demo (and use in PPC in some ways) I just didn’t think there would be enough copies of it to not get lost very quickly.

          It would be sort of interesting, but would it be a lot different from the CHRP version?

          Edit: Yes, and I was never aware of Novell&#x27;s part in all of this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Star_Trek_project#Architecture" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Star_Trek_project#Architecture
