	I have a Pentium pro system that was donated to me recently. I
decided to fire it up and see what it is and got some interesting surprises.
First off it's not running NT (I thought that was the choice dejour of
Pentium pros) it is running something called interactive UNIX. Now I may
have been seeing things but it seemed to indicate that it had three fathers
for this (copyright holders) I forget the first one but I also saw Microsoft
and sunsoft listed. 1. I thought Microsoft didn't do UNIX 2. I thought sun
hated Microsoft. am I making a bad assumption here that sunsoft is sun
microsystems?
	Also this beastie has a DCP card in it (I think those were the
initials) it's a standard pc slot board (but very long) with a 486 on it. I
did some searching and came up with nothing on this model or make. anyone
know what these boards are good for? I am curious about all this.
Unfortunately I am going to have to slick this machine as I do not have the
root password , or any password , to get into the OS itself. If you happen
to know how to crack this system let me know. I always want to do that as a
learning exercise.
