Exxon Office Systems had a large facility near Princeton, NJ,
where a lot of System 8000 work was done. My systems came indirectly
Nope...just userland programming.
Was it a short rack and a tall rack? If so, those were likely mine.

does anybody
have information/source code/anything
about the Zilog Zeus System? It is a System III Unix derivate
running on a Z8001 16bit CPU
Gaaah, it's coming back to haunt me!
The NJ Computer Museum has a Zilog System 8000 model 21
what's probably running that! from that facility.

I ran a Zilog System 8000 running Zeus daily
for quite a while back in the late 1980s.
But did you get to peek into the kernel
or use the maintenance programs? I'd love
to hear what people have as well...
I remember "porting" an RM/COBOL system for a doctor's office
from a CP/M system to ZEUS and loving the system.
I've never seen any on the collector/used market
I remember seeing 2 on the back of an old pickup truck,
for sale, at the Trenton Computer Fest in the late 80s.
Talk about a fall from grace!
