Al,
From my standpoint the OS that comes to mind is GCOS-8.
As for array processor software, it sounds like we may need to talk. I believe I still
have a FPS array processor tape. I've never really considered that it might be rare.
I suppose I should have also grabbed all the spares at the time I got tape.
