A friend of mine is a systems person who takes care of a bunch of the critters,
here's what I recall from a distant conversation about them...

Status machines are multiple processor transaction processing machines.
They run a proprietary OS, and are supposed to be very fault tolerant.

[ooops!!!  Error in first Posting..]
They are programmed in PL/1 and are supposed to have a very nice syntax 
directed editor that fills in the fields of system calls for you.

I believe they are made by Stratus computing...

That's all I remember... there was a lot of saki flowing while we were talking.
