About 1992-3, I worked at IBM Austin on the IBM Microkernel and Workplace OS[1]. The development machines we were using were "Sandalfeet"[2][3] which ran AIX and (IIRC) a weird 64-bit port of Windows NT (and the in-development Workplace OS). I once expressed the opinion that these were pretty neat little machines, and a co-worker (a real IBMer who had been there for a while, not a contractor like me) told me that they had warehouse full of them somewhere since they were never going to be released.
