And, Doug, it was me who contacted Stan a year after
he dumped his Sols
(and now he is S-O-L). About two years ago I did send out a mailing to
about 150 names and addresses I culled from the Proteus News and tried
to find via web-based phone directories. I eventually made contact via
email with 3 or 4 who still had their machines .... And promptly lost
their addresses after a major system crash and prior to a backup (been
there, done that).
:(
Say, the PTDOS discussion just jogged my memory... wasn't someone
in PROTEUS going to modify it so that it would support soft-sectored
disk systems like the NorthStar and such? Do you know if that ever
happened?
If not, I'll have to put that on my to-do list. But there are a few
years' worth of projects ahead of it (CDC 6000 series simulator,
PL/1 compiler, Multics simulator, Multics source code rescue, etc).
But if my sanity and health survives, it'll get done!
Regards,
