Missing Bits

Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2007 17:48:11 -0800 From: "Billy Pettit" <Billy.Pettit at wdc.com> Subject: Missing Bits -------------Original Message: <snip> Recently, I've been trying to write up some of those experiences and found that I have almost nothing on a lot of the companies. <snip> And one that is driving me crazy, a company that supplied Ada systems to the military. Was first based in Mt. View, then moved to San Jose into one of the old Amdahl buildings. I can visualize the people and systems but can't remember the name. Getting old sucks. I'd love to hear about anyone's experience with any of these companies and especially if any documents or hardware survived. And I'm especially interested in ARIX. It was a very unusual company, and obliquely mentioned in the 6 part TV series on Silicon Valley. Billy -----------Reply: I worked with an Arix system years ago, and I think at least one person up here in Ontario has one; I sent him whatever Arix documentation I had left a while ago. Dave Dunfield might know better if they're still around and who has them now. mike
