As a one-time PLATO user (some employee training
courses at CDC used PLATO), I'm curious if the courseware/software and hardware still
exists for the host side of PLATO--and the amount of same.
In the day of the old plasma-display boxes, I believe that hosting was done using Cyber
70 mainframes running KRONOS (or NOS if you're more up-to-date).
Yes, it still exists. See cyber1.org for more information.
There?s a system running in Palo Alto, on the DtCyber emulator. It started as a copy of a
real PLATO system (courtesy FAA).
