Actually, he tried to call it Freax, but it didn’t take.

That was before I ran across him. I wish I would have kept some of the conversations I had with him. We were using SCO at the time, building systems with EISA boards and as many as four caching (crashing?-LOL) controllers with as many drives as we could cram in a machine. All SCSI stuff. The darn things got so hot that we would cut holes in the side panel of a tower cabinet (they were hard to find) and then push cold air from small spot coolers using flexible ducting.

We had a lot of fun doing stuff we were told you can't do "with those little machines".....

I remember those days, really fun! I sort of miss those DPT caching controllers...
