I certainly knew about the connections between Go (and so very much other stuff at Google) and Plan 9. I was surprised, at the time, to see the OS itself in use in a production role. Just another example of unexpected tools getting the job done.

Coraid produces ATA over Ethernet storage platforms shipping their own fork of Plan 9 on the devices.

If I had a need for it, or could justify the cash, I'd get one just to play around!

I once almost bought a massive Xerox printer from a graphics shop that was decommissioning it. It had a Xerox Star (running some specialized software) for its brains.

In the end, the workstation was so completely fused to the printer I'd end with a car-sized workstation.
