Now I recognize the signature, VI for Write/Quit/force write. Never thought of that before. Clever.

Thanks! I admit, it's a bit unusual for the platform being the main topic in those lists. :-)

It was Frank Soltis PhD thesis that conceived of the single level storage and the virtualization layer allowing hardware to be changed without affecting software above that layer. Now several systems do that but Frank was the first one. He also went with object oriented architecture in the OS and that architecture was years ahead of everyone else.

I'm aware. But from an idea and a concept to an actual product being manufactured for a price people can and are willing to pay is a long way to go.

The actual engineering to build the system and program CPF (the original name of the OS on S/38) was a good size team. Bains being one of them.

That's what I've heard also.
