Any DG AOS/VS
people out there?
I helped evaluate the Eclipse around 1980 when our local Indiana Unversity
campus was trying to break free from our total dependence on the centralized
IU computing factilities in Bloomington and Indianapolis. It had a lot to
offer, but we like Pr1me better, and went that route.
IIRC, the Eclipse architecture was an evolution of the DG Nova architecture.
It's development is the subject of Tracy Kidder's "Soul of a New
Machine",
a book I'd highly recommend reading.
