ACIS/AOS in that listing almost surely refers to the "ACademic
Information System" / "Academic Operating System", which was IBM's
port of 4.3BSD-Tahoe+NFS to the RT (e.g., 6150/6151/6152) using the
ROMP processor sold to universities. These were used in Project
Athena, I believe; Ted can say more about that than I can.

I'd send this to Zach directly, but I don't have his email address.
