TOPS-20

Big cut performed here...... Sean 'Captain Napalm' Conner wrote: As a system operator, and, later production control analyst with DEC, I dealt with it.. All of the "system managers" in our group didn't want to deal with the "pre vax/vms stuff". so I ended up as the de-facto administrator of a KL1091 running TOPS-10 V7.01, and a KL2060 running (gawd, I ferget) V TOPS-20.. Eventually, we shut down the 1091, and brought up the 2060 running (believe it or not) V7.02 TOPS-10... At least, when the KL's crashed, they'd let the Op know, Such as: [DECsystem-10 Not Running], with an appropriate "beep" at the CTY, and the same message displayed on any user's terminal.. Oh, with the VAXen, at the time, you suspected a crash about the same time some VP called on the phone and blasted you because they could not get any response from the system.... (progress?) Will
