It's not a dead OS though. It runs on reasonably modern hardware (it supports the Pi) and is currently still in active (albeit slow) development....

RIP to the MIPS/SGI platform. Interesting that they still have the M88K/Luna platform, since there are almost no Omron Luna 88K systems still around....

This is a pity, as Samsung has traditionally been one of the better SSD makers, or at least the most recommended. I used to use Plextor's SSDs (though...
