Yep, Zilog Enhanced Unix System. Back in those days, vendors weren't
allowed to name their OS 'Unix' (which is why you had all those names that
typically had -ix somewhere in them).

Hello,
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. I'm looking for more infos on that.
No real info, alas...
Zeus was supposedly an acronym for Zilog Enhanced Unix System , or
something similar
I ahve a Zilog S8000 Model 30 (the large-ish tower machine built in
slices with an SMD hard disk and QIC tape drive). I should have the
(inary) distriution tape for that somewhere, and I hope the hard disk is
still readable (I've not used it for some time, it was fine last time I
used it, and I locked the heads afterwards...). But no source code, or
even full shcemaitcs (YET!).
