Fuck! MTS? The Michigan Terminal System? I haven't heard that being mentioned since I was, literally, a kid. Even IBM considers that obsolete, and IIRC even development stopped about 15 years ago!
- valarauca1 12y agozOS and SystemZ's are backwards compatible to System360 for a reason. IBM may consider a lot of old stuff obsolete but their customers don't. A lot of the Detroit Metro UUG (Unix Users Group, the LUG is very small) people like to find some of the old tech in the basements of Ford and GM and use it for show and tell :)
- weland 12y agozOS and SystemZ are indeed backwards compatible, and not without reason, but stuff like MTS really is obsolete. Or at least I think it should be (I'm not involved in maintaining such systems, I just enjoy collecting old computers)
