It's coming up to a quarter-century since the innards of Unix was a day-to-day concern of mine when I was programming in PostScript on top of Unix on an Onyx (not Oryx) minicomputer through a glorious green-text dumB terminal. I don't remember which flavour, if there were 'flavours' then, of Unix, but my Bible of the time (The Business Guide to the Unix System, Yates and Emerson, 1984) writes breathlessly of the sheer wonder and power of 16-bit addressing by comparison with the 8 bits of the Z80 or 6502.
