Its amusing, early XKL documentation called it "router style user interface" so while it might have been PDP-10 under the surface, it looked like a Cisco Router from the get go, which makes sense considering the market intended for.
- Suzuran 3y agoThis has more to do with Cisco's IOS command line being a direct clone of the TOPS-20 "Exec" than XKL attempting to clone Cisco's interface.
- Aloha 3y agoThe first time I sat down at a TOPS-20 box, I could see the genetic similarity. Also, I was not presuming XKL cloned Cisco - considering the shared provenance of it all.
