AT&T SVR2.something on a 3B20 for about 3 days before conning my way into a
SunOS 3.5 account on a Sun 3/160.

And I've tried so hard! Pyramid 90x, UChicago, 1982.
We had one of these at GaTech. Which one of the equally broken "universes"
did you work in?

was cleared for Top Secret work, I'd just as soon forget it.
At the beginning of my career, I worked for the company that almost
certainly wrote that. You're welcome!
P.S. - We also wrote the infamous C2-Subsystem for SCO Unix. Still get
hate for that.

Oh yes. Definitely remember MGR. Learned a lot from studying the code.
Tangentially...AT&T Layers.

It ran a derivative port of 4.2BSD called UTek...I learned a lot
about Unix internals, as I managed to get my hands on
source, and could build my own kernels, drivers, and utilities.
I would really like to see the source to UTek of that vintage, having spent
time with (much) later versions. Neat system.

First one I got any real training on was NCR's flavor of AT&T 5.4.
Oddly, I spent a lot of time with, of all things, Dell's version of SVR4
running on their hardware in the 386/486 days. They put a lot of effort
into making it slick to install and use. Much nicer than you would imagine.
