Yes, though not exactly. The TI implementation was a true, full Micro-TUTOR
runtime that ran Off-Line System lessons directly. Atari had a PLATO cartridge
that could connect to a server via modem ("PLATO Homelink") and was arguably
more functional than the contemporary PC Homelink, but the Micro-PLATO (*not*
Micro-TUTOR) lessons on floppy disk for Apple II and Atari were ported to the
6502 and had no runtime or interpreter per se.
