re:

a couple past posts mentioning the MTS and PDP stuff

this has a picture of the 67 running MTS ...

although the comment is a little off since cp40 (on 360-40 with custom hardware virtual memory) was operational before either mts or multics. and the port of cp40 from 360-40 to 360-67 for cp67 was about the same time-frame as MTS ... mentioned here as May, 1967:

here is the picture of the PDP8 as a front-end communication processor for MTS www.eecis.udel.edu-~mills-gallery-gallery7.html

so what is the tie-in between network time protocol and MTS? this is my RFC summary entry for NTP standard (clicking on the "txt=nnn" field retrieves the actual RFC:

here is some reference to additional MTS information (the pages look like what were at umich ... but those URLs have gone 404)

this also tells some more of the story of MTS starting out with LLMPS as its basis

LLMPS done at lincoln labs ... which installed cp67 on their 360-67 in 67. then the univ. i was at become the 3rd cp67 installation when some people from the science center

came out the last week in jan68 to install it.

"multics" home page (which was on the 5th flr, 545 tech sq, while the science center doing cp67 was on the 4th flr)

multics cronology

has reference to the 5-67 date for MTS

and multics phase 1 milestone with single process boot, 12-67

and the "official" release of cp67 on 5-68. other dates from the multics cronology has 9-67 as PDP-10 being announced and BBN starting work on TENEX.

demonstrable initial multics milestone w-8 users, 10-68.

other early history about ctss, multics, cp40, cp67, virtual machine, etc from Melinda's history paper

totally unrelated postings mentioning umich

LLMPS was a contributed program ... I still have the LLMPS manual (but no software); Misc. past postings mentioning LLMPS
