A while ago there was some discussion about 3.0, limited availability,
and its abilities, well the news has long since expired and I suddenly
find myself needing to know a lot more. I am interested in using Mach 3.0
as a vehicle for the development of persistent kernel (essentialy a layer
above the micro-kernel), and my memory of 3.0 suggests that it would be 
pretty ideal. I couldn't care less about Unix functionality.

Can someone please point me at:
	what is currently available,
	what platforms, (I would love to find out that a SPARC port exists)
	most of all, some information about structure and functionality
	(something ftp-able would be ideal).
