I am starting a new blog about time-sharing operating systems. Covering the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s, this will look at some of the key OS that allowed many users to share a computer, the innovations they brought and how to run them today on your own PC via emulation.

Some of the OS I am planning to cover:

  • CTSS
  • TSS/360
  • CP/CMS
  • TSO for MVS
  • TOPS-10 and -20
  • ITS
  • Multics
  • RSTS and RSX-11
  • Something called Unix?

Please subscribe to the RSS feed to receive updates.

Michigan Terminal System

MTS, the Michigan Terminal System, is an operating system running on IBM System/360 compatible mainframes dating from the 1960s. It ran at a number of universities in the US, UK and Canada until the late 90s, It provided batch and interactive access with a large number of programs and tools included in the standard distribution.

I have written about MTS in much more detail on my other site try-mts.com.
