Is that in the archives anywhere? As far as I understand, the code that is available is for the DPS-8M. I have asked around for older code. I don't remember exactly, but possibly 6180 era code might be around, but but unfortunately not 645. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

But I think that Dennis was referring to something that wasn't Multics, or only tangentially related, done by Ken; this would have definitely preceded the 6180 (Tom's link here: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.os.multics/c/1iHfrDJkyyE/m/Nhmar1sFRBgJ). To quote: > Ken even created a tiny kernel of a system for the 645, which actually printed out an equivalent of `hello world.' This is the thing I'm curious about. - Dan C. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
