This is fascinating history, Lynn. I remember using the Prepare command in channel programs for the 2701 that we used in the TUCC network ca. 1967 on. Speaking of old, busted systems and ones that were killed (like FS), does anybody know anything about the new operating system that Amdahl was trying to build? I had a phone interview with an Amdahl person in SEP 1987 who mentioned this OS and I started salivating at the prospect of working on that project. The next thing I knew the project had been killed.
