The page says that Joe "was exposed to UNIX on
the Honeywell 516
machines in the early 1970s." This seems wrong to me. We did have a
516, but it ran an experimental virtual memory system called 516-TSS.
I lived on this system and still have some of the octal instruction
opcodes burned into my brain-ROM.
As a Prime 50-Series buff, I'd be interested in knowing more about this
516-TSS. Pointers appreciated, if there are any bits, documentation, or
war stories lurking about.
