Wayne brought some of the CMU hacks to MIT and sent us some of theirs such as the Chaos code. For instance, my >>guess<< is that fsck came to MIT via that connect, since Ted wrote much of it at CMU. FYI: I would later do a really crappy job of hacking the Ritchie C compiler to work with an experimental chip we got from Moto (what would become the 68K) - it generated correct code (just barely) but worked. It was from that connect I learned that Ward's guys did a >>much<< better job for Trix project (and maybe used the Johnson compiler - but could target a couple of different micros). I remember I switched to their compiler when I got it (from Jack I think). I believe I even still have 9-track tape of it somewhere in my basement.
