Aside: no, but they did run an 80s-era System V Unix with this crazy
design. I pretty easily got an existing Unix application of mine
running on one of these machines back in the early 90s, though it
probably helped that the app was already designed to be portable. I
think a good chunk of the GNU toolset (minus gcc) worked on those
systems as well, though I don't recall for sure.
