Re: [LUG] Operating Systems We Have Known And Loved (And Hated)

 

I am not sure if this one has been mentioned already but anyway...  The
University of Reading had a Modular One minicomputer. The mainframe at
the time was a 1904S and the Modular One supported a teaching lab. I
was not on the systems side so I was not aware of the operating system 
but Wikipedia says it was called E4. A footnote mentions that Birmingham
University had one. The Mod One communicated with the 1904S via a "log in
in no-user context" and when a small change was made to George this was
disrupted, the Mod One stopped working and it took a week to find out why.  

Any reminiscences? 

Tony
