Must be thinking of _Oath of Fealty_ by the same authors, containing a
sentient computer named MILLIE. _The Mote in God's Eye_ lacked a lot of
high tech stuff because the powers that be froze the technological state
of their culture at a level that they believed would prevent global/near
space conflicts.

Also the three D.F. Jones Colossus books whose titles someone couldn't
remember were were _Colossus_, _The Fall of Colossus_, and _Colossus
and the Crab_.
