Sweet. So it finally runs on Shoebill! I've wanted to see this running ever since I first found out about it.

It's totally real. and very much SYSV on an Apple, complete with SYSV's filesystem. No wonder Apple moved to BSD FFS.

I wonder if it is REALLY fake?

The "screenshot" here is from the included file:

./sys/psn/io/screen-data.c

From one of the original A/UX developers:

The file is actually a bitmap (640x480). When you decipher it, you find an image with a fake menu bar, and a fake window having the name 'OREO Initial Console Emulator'. This was fluff to make the low-level boot look more Mac-like. "Oreo" was another code name - we had tons of codenames - the code name was changed every few months.
