The entry in the official newsgroup listing from Gene Spafford says:
comp.sys.tahoe CCI 6/32, Harris HCX/7, & Sperry 7000 computers.
Another source of confusion is that when Berkeley ported 4.3BSD over to run
on the Tahoe hardware, they released a new set of sources and called the
distribution "4.3-Tahoe". (It also includes various bug fixes to the
utilities.)
So, this group was set up to discuss problems/experiences of running Unix
on the Tahoe hardware, but hardly anybody is posting.
