OZ was always TOPS-20. Or Twenex, as they called it. Actually the new KS10 AI may have been running TOPS-20 briefly before the ITS port was done.

- cpr 10y agoDidn't even know they eventually replaced AI with a KS10--I had left MIT by 1980-ish (was sysadmin for MIT-EECS and the EE dept LispMs) and didn't keep up much with the goings-on there.
- larsbrinkhoff 10y agoI was looking for Ron Schnell's original Maclisp verison of the DUNNET game. He said it might be on backup tapes from MIT-EECS. But I suspect such backups do not exist any more.
- RonnieSchnell 10y agoI will buy many beers if anyone can find me the original version. It was much different! Maybe better. Instead of finding yourself in a Vax/UNIX, you were inside a Dec-20 running Twenex. It used the COMND library, which simulated the COMND JRST. I wrote the elisp version trying to remember the "sort" of stuff I did with the original version, but even I would be surprised by what was actually in there...
