UNIX implementations

[BRUCE at umdb]

Well, two thirds of the vendors you listed have Unix implementations for them
(IBM and Univac).  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?
