It's funny, I did not learn of it until after CMU discommomission that
IBM/TSS system which I broke in on.
Clem can tell us all about the IBM/Locus port to the 370.
Yeah it was called and would be a product Locus did for IBM (AIX/370)
primarily for the University market. It's what the Locus (TCF) book
describes.
And maybe there was another IBM port??
I'm not sure what Amdahl had originally. I had always thought it was based
on your original from Princeton.
Much later, Sun ported Solaris to the Hitachi HDS 370 clones (for
Hitachi), and then to Amdahl clones for Amdahl/Fujitsu.
I heard that had been done, but never knew how well it worked.
