Hello again from Gregg C Levine
Can anyone on this list comment as to when development on the Utah
Mach implementation ceased activities? This is for the i386 platform.

I know, I have been assured that the best way to continue, is to
switch to the GNU Mach code, but for reasons that I do not want to go
into on a message that will be posted to the list, I want to explore
options using code from it. Using the kernels that were so built as to
allow them to be built to boot from LILO, I have gotten as far as a
kernel debugger prompt. That is a ddb prompt. That one was zMach.UK22.

So, anybody with that info? Oh and the date on that one was March 29,
1996. It does give me something to base my information.
Jay, if you're out there, you too, can comment. I'll even accept
replies off list.
If possible I want to actually boot a system using that kernel
completely.
