I don't know, who?  Last place I worked I knew a guy who left to go
work for Sony America and he showed me brochures of the Sony machines.
What I remember is that it was advertised as running 4.2 or 4.3 BSD.
This guy thought the port was done in Japan by Sony, but I don't know
if that is correct.  So what were you getting at?
