i remember trying to use it with an Ada compiler at school. I was the only person on campus who had Ada exposure, and it was a remarkably slow machine. Could not get out of its own way. Very ambitious in architecture but too slow and too far ahead of software at the time. i do not recall actually -running- any programs on it. There might have been a monitor running (not a real OS, just BIOS like shell thing)
