I’m the one who posted the article. This is the first time I’ve ever even heard of NonStop.
From the entitle I assumed it had something to do with discussions that had been going on for a long time or kept coming up and it was just a typo or something.
Interesting to find out there was a an OS I never heard. Unfortunately the Wikipedia page isn’t very comprehensive.
- dboreham 2y agoI'd not heard of NonStop but I've definitely heard of Tandem. I think one is the other after going through a few decades of marketing spin.
- sillywalk 2y agoThe original company was called Tandem Computers. They called their systems NonStop. The OS was originally called Guardian, then it was Guardian 90, then NonStop Kernel, which had both Guardian and POSIX "personalities". Tandem got purchased by Compaq, then Compaq got purchased by HP.
