MkLinux and the pimped-out Apple Workgroup Server 9150

This is historical computing content with minimal relevance to current infrastructure practice. Only one feed carries it, and the article is primarily a vintage hardware restoration project tracing Apple's early server strategy from the failed Macintosh Office concept through the Workgroup Server line.

The Apple Workgroup Server 9150 is a NuBus Power Mac that can be hardware-upgraded to run MkLinux, which used the Mach microkernel and was publicly offered by Apple in 1996.
A/UX, Apple's hybrid System V UNIX implementation, did not survive the 68K to PowerPC transition in 1994, creating the opening that MkLinux later filled.
Apple's server line originated from the failed Macintosh Office concept and the cancelled 'Big Mac' file server project, leading to rebadged Macintosh systems sold as Workgroup Servers.
