Subject: [TUHS] Any Interdata war stories?
In about 1981 or 1982 the chemistry (IIRC) department at University of
Calgary had an Interdata 8/32 that was, at least for some time around
then, running Unix. I remember poking around on it briefly, but I don't
remember much more than that about it.

I was pleased to learn that the first port of S to UNIX was on the
Interdata 8/32, which I had my part in enabling.
I would love to hear more about the Interdata port and what
happened with it afterwards. Interdata seems to have disappeared
into the dustbin of history. And Unix on it apparently never
got out of Bell Labs;
