Funny you should mention the keyword NuBus in your presentation. Yes
the Apple Mac II machines used it. They licensed it from TI, who
developed it while exploring the wonders of Lisp. Anyone here remember
the Lisp Machines that were extremely popular once?


  Oh yes, I have several of them here, all Symbolics.   A 3640, 3645, and
an
XL1201.

One was made by TI. And it used that expansion bus.


  Yes, the TI Explorer.   I hadn't remembered that that was where NuBus
came
from.   Neat.   Then it's less of a happenstance thing that Cisco used it,
given their Lisp connections back then.

Hello!
No not Goldy's favorite. Try the monster who spent several hours last
week or so, banging on your Tops-10 (or Tops-20) setup. He moved and
is now doing worse on those machines. In fact its aimed in your
direction......
