Folks who attended CMU in the late 1980s to early 1990s: Do any of you have still have one of the Andrew environment CD-ROMs that you could get to run Mach and Andrew on personal hardware in your dorm or office?
I know MacMach CDs existed, I gather there were CDs (or tapes) for DECstation, Sun-3, Sun-4, and IBM RT as well. Or did everyone with a workstation bootstrap from the network?
