I believe Wisconsin did the NFS stuff for that OS, as I was coming up

from there, so did Rusty and a bunch of the kernel hackers that were a
few years ahead of me.

I'm curious who was using AOS, which was
essentially Tahoe+NFS.
I was. We used it for a number of things at CWRU, and I used it personally
on old IBM workstations. I wrote a considerable portion of bash-2.0 on an
AOS machine in my old house, and my wife used it (plus an APA-style troff
macro package I wrote) to write her doctoral thesis.
