When I went to college in 1989 they were still running a Harris mini with serial terminals (not sure of the standard - VT100 I assume). The OS as I recall was VOS. I remember hacking together some kind of chat room and a file management utility in JCL. In about 1990/91 it was decommissioned and replaced with a HP9000 running Unix. I managed to get hold of and keep a backup tape of one of the disk packs.
I would love to know more about what model this machine might possibly have been and if there is any information about the hardware, VOS, or JCL. I've had a search online but I can't seem to find much information if anything and I would like to remind myself of what it was like. If anyone has any information or memories themselves I'd be interested in hearing about them.
Also, I'm not sure what's on the tape and if it's of use to someone but happy to pass on. I don't know if it's worth being archived for historical purposes.
Thanks
