I don't know of any Unix for CDC machines however. The IBM (and IBM look-alikes) is called the Universal Timesharing System (UTS) and is available from Amdahl. It runs under VM/370 or VM/SP and hence should run on just about any member of the 370 family (at least any that can support VM). For further information on UTS, contact: Amdahl Corporation Marketing Communications, M/S 215 1250 East Arques Avenue P.O. Bose 470 Sunnyvale, California 94086 408/746-SOFT (inside CA) 800/638-4242 (outside CA) It is based on release 7 and seems to work. The Univac version is also a release 7 and is called the UNIX(TM) TIME-SHARING SYSTEM FOR UNIVAC(TM) 1100 SERIES SYSTEMS, and as you might guess from the title is distributed by Bell. It runs under EXEC-8 (oops, 'Series 1100 Operating System', they don't support 1108s anymore or 1100/40s either for that matter). You must be running level 36 or 37 of EXEC-8 and it only runs on 1100/60s and 1100/80s. Some problem with the banking hardware prevents it from running on a 1100/40 so you are probably out of luck on that. Now if you want to run Unix on a really large machine, BRL probably should mention their plan to Unix on a Denelcor HEP. Any comments Ron? Bruce
