Not that I am aware of. The second one went to U of M, as I recall. IIRC, the first went to NASA. >> So long ago(and far away). My advisor was from Michigan and he always complained that we didn't have this and didn't have that like they did at Michigan. I don't remember them all LaPlume, TSS, Cross Assemblers. He was hardcore nuts and bolts EE and was huge on simulation. Anyway his take from those days was that UM had a huge falling out with IBM and vice versa. They didn't like this and didn't like that and ended up fixing so much that decided to write their own? More friends at Illinois confirmed, but didn't have the details. We did a cost estimate to upgrade the 158 to run TSS and it was over $4M. Nobody bought it and we converted to Sperry!
