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.
Thanks,
Matt

I ran a Zilog System 8000 running Zeus daily for quite a while
back in the late 1980s. I have to say I liked it quite a bit. It
was a long time ago and my memory is pretty fuzzy...but what info are
you looking for, specifically?

I'd love to hear what people have as well... I remember "porting" an
RM/COBOL system for a doctor's office from a CP/M system to ZEUS and loving
the system. I've never seen any on the collector/used market and I'd love
to find one.

In the former GDR, the EAW P8000, a machine based on a modified Unix
System III/Zeus, was built. It uses a Zilog Z8001 or the replicated GDR
version UA8001. You can find quite a bit of information (including
circuit diagrams and parts of the kernel source) on that machine at
http://www.pofo.de/P8000/

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!).

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).
