and MISS (Multipurpose Interactive timeSharing System) and MOS (a UNIX clone), both available in variants for the ES EVM machines. MOS begat DEMOS, also available for ES EVM machines. I've neither seen nor touched any of these Soviet era machines and operating systems. I know very little about

Re: Mainframe operating systems?

I think maybe. We had an RFP open and RCA bid on it and were in the final round. I think they called it the Octoputer. Then they made a $10M dollar accounting mistake and Sarnoff pulled the plug on their computer business. Anyway the winner was Sperry and they chunked in an RCA Spectra 70

Re: Mainframe operating systems?

I forgot to mention OC/EC (OS/ES), the Soviet era fork of OS/360 that also borrowed from later IBM operating system releases but that evolved in its own localized way. There was also a DOS/EC. OC/EC and DOS/EC ran on the ЕС ЭВМ (ES EVM) mainframes, a line of machines that were instruction set

Re: Mainframe operating systems?

I have a few more additions: 1. These Japanese operating systems are probably worth mentioning: Hitachi VOS3 Fujitsu MSP Fujitsu XSP VOS3 and MSP are proven forks of IBM MVS/XA (at least, and likely also MVS/ESA). XSP might be a fork of DOS/VSE. (I'm less familiar with that one.) If you want to

Re: Mainframe operating systems?

I think Amdahl also had UTX as a follow on to UTS. And there was ASPEN (code name?) that was an "MVS" like O/S that Amdahl had. In the "DOS" line was DOS/MVT. Not sure if it is still in existence. For those interested: OBS/WYLBUR became ACS/WYLBUR. It had support for JES2 up to OS/390 1.3

Re: Mainframe operating systems?

How about homegrown OS? When I started working on contract to NASA at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in NYC, June 1976, they ran Scientific Supervisory System/360 (SSS/360) on an IBM 360/95 and a copy under VM/370 R3 on an Amdahl 470/V6. SSS/360 was about 35,000 lines of Assembler code.

Our entire shop was based around Wylbur/orvyl. some of the developers got free time on our mainframe so we would get wylbur with updates and free maint. for over 20 years. It had a very powerful utility language behind it sort of like a stripped down REXX. This was back in the 70's and 80's even
