Howdy,
when i worked on the UCB housing system in the early 80's, i'm pretty
sure it was running on a Mentor 4000. at that time the dining system ran
on some version of Unix, and information was transfered from (and maybe
to) it via a serial connection. :)

When I was a student sysadmin at UC Berkeley, the entire
housing and dining
system, door entry cards, student payment system, et cetera, ran on a
refrigerator-sized McDonnel Douglass computer running some
form of PICK (I
am curious now, does anyone here want to tell me what those
ran?) During my
time there I was a UNIX/Windows sysadmin but that department
converted from
that machine to a NT4 box running UniVerse.
That was probably a Reality system. That's the hardware I learned Pick
programming on, though it was sold by Microdata at the time. McDonnel
Douglass aquired Microdata at some point, I think in the late 80's.
They may have renamed the OS after the aquisition, but it was still
Pick.
