Crazy, I’m posting about 100BaseVG and HP-VUE on the same day!
So, one more thought… Back in the day, we ran a DUX (diskless cluster) of about a dozen Snakes (HP9000/720) over 10Base2. They had disks for local swap and scratch space (context-dependent files, anybody?) and ran #HPUX 9.
And it worked fine. Booting all machines at the same time obviously was slow, but there was rarely any…
