Yes, it was, in fact, a Unix system.

Everything in the set was real. We couldn’t fake any of it, because audiences are so sophisticated now in their knowledge of computers. All told, $875,000 worth of computer hardware loaned by Silicon Graphics, $350,000 worth from Apple and some $500,000 in additional hardware and software went into equipping both the set and off-stage control room.

I love that there are a bunch of computers running Apple’s A/UX, their home-spun implementation of UNIX. Very niche

Odd that the author of this article didn’t take the opportunity to mention it.
