What changes were made by the various OEM distributions?
- Examples would include the MINCE distributions by SAGE, Kaypro, Actrix, etc.
- Any others?
Found one...
So far:
- OEM versions:
- SAGE
► This version is the CP/M-68K release in the repo. - Kaypro
► Appears to be stock CP/M-80 release.- Preconfigured, distributed without source or configuration tool
- Actrix
- Morrow
- ATARI, Inc.
► Now included in the repo.- Ported by MOTU, included in (early) ATARI ST Development Kits
- Runs on the Apple Lisa also, which was used for TOS development, with appropriate environment, but was not an official product or port
- Likely ran on the Motorola VME/10 development systems as well.
- Ported by MOTU, included in (early) ATARI ST Development Kits
- LMI (Lisp Machine, Inc.)
► Documentated in early (2.0 pre-release) documentation- Not sure (yet!) if this was actually distributed to users
- ZETA-C, Lisp Machine C Compiler, was written by Scott Layson-Burson
- SAGE
Still need to find Actrix and Morrow OEM versions and more details on possible LMI version.
Additional LMI details:
- LMI distributed MINCE with UNIX for the LMI-LAMBDA, preconfigured to emulate ZMACS.
- MINCE was present in at least 2.0 and 3.0.
- Author of ZETA-C is Scott W. Layson-Burson (one of the MINCE developers).
- Tracked down at least one LMI MINCE release which will be added to the repo.
LMI info "project" underway
LMI used VAX/VMS port as well - documentation sorted and going in tomorrow.
Yay rendering BoTeX
