CTSS was the Compatible Time Sharing System (can't remember what it was 
compatible with any more).  It ran on the 7094.  In fact, as I recall the 
transition IBM made from the 7090->7094 was the result of MIT-suggested 
improvements *specifically* to make the machine time sharable.  [we did a 
similar thing here at bbn at around the same time: in our case we were working
with DEC and specified the upgrade from the PDP-1c to the PDP-1d.  CTSS
was *not* compatible with us... :-)]
