[TUHS] Origins of the SGS (System Generation Software) and COFF (Common Object File Format)

Point of interest.  In the mid 80's Northern Telecom had a product called
the DV-1. It was a
motorola based system on the 68010. At the end of its life it was able to
run GEM with a floppy.
The DV-1 terminal was 68000 based. See some snaps at:
