I'm also interested in this. I tracked down some current email addresses for some of the nCUBE people who posted to 9fans in the '90s. Greetings to Stephen, Vadim, and Alberto. Would you be willing to indulge us with some historical information on how Plan 9 was used and modified by nCUBE and what became of the Transit operating system? Thanks, Anthony
