I was just looking over a notebook on what appears to
be an OS called
Storage Machine 1 by FileTek. I was wondering if anyone knows anything
about this, and what hardware it ran on. Some notes identify the
cartridge tape drive as "TK50" and the system seesm to have had a big optical
disk library device, about 2.3 or 2.6 gigs.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? It came in a pile of material from a
DG Nova system.
From www.filetek.com:
William C. Thompson and John Burgess founded FileTek in 1984 to
address the need for making very large volumes of offline
information accessible to online users of mainframes
minicomputers, and networked workstations. They firmly believed
that historic detail has an increased value when organizations can
access and use it productively.
In 1987, FileTek introduced its first product, Storage Machine/1, a
shared client/server-based, automatically managed storage server.
This innovative data server used sophisticated storage management
software to control a storage hierarchy of magnetic disk and write
once read many (WORM) optical technology.
