PDP-6s at MIT

Flinders University had a 36 bit system (I?m not sure if it was a KI or KL). I think they were running TOPS-20 on it. I see in the notes the they were running ITS on a KS - seems a rather odd thing to do as they?d invested a lot in there other system but perhaps it was a separate project outside of their main Computer Centre stuff. They had a very innovative medical degree program so perhaps this was associated with it? I remember visiting once for a DECUS meeting - at that stage I was a student at La Trobe University and we had a KI-10 running TOPS-10. For that particular DECUS meeting I?d worked on comparing various ?systems? programming languages for ease of use and performance - the list included BCPL. BLISS-10, Simula-67, SAIL, MACRO-10 and Algol-60. As some on the list know, this includes my favourite language which puts me at odds with many within Digital :-) Huw Davies | e-mail: Huw.Davies at kerberos.davies.net.au Melbourne | "If soccer was meant to be played in the Australia | air, the sky would be painted green"
