I actually recall him having done much of the work at CMU but can’t be sure. I also seem
to recall him finish up the paper. I was lucky in my office mates: I had John Lions and
tjk. Some place, I have a few pics of USG’s computer room. I only recall RP04s however.
:(

That would have so much like Ted. I never heard that story, but I would believe it. I
do believe that he told them (rightfully) that it was primarily developed at CMU using CMU
computing resources (the 11/34A for the Digital Lab in the EE Dept that Ted and I ran).
IIRC: the primary feature hat he did to it at Summit besides support for the changes in
the V7 filesystems, was support for large disks (aka RP06) when attached to a small
address space (11/40 class) systems, of which CMU had a number as I believe the Labs did
also. Armando's I believe you two were office mates in those days, do you have
memory?
We had it at Tektronix because I brought it from CMU.
