IBM to support UNIX on 4300

[Arnold Robbins]

With all this talk about IBM's port of UNIX to the 370's, what about the
version done at ATT?  It is described in pretty good detail in the Oct 84
BLTJ.  Essentially, they got IBM to make some mods to TSS, and then put
Unix on top of it. TSS deals with the i/o hardware and paging, Unix does
everything else.  This isolates Unix from different hardware configurations
(I/O channels, etc).

Now, would someone at ATT care to tell us if they've worked on it, how it
does, etc?  Also, when will it be released, or has it been already, and if
so, what is the pricing?

Personally, I would trust an ATT port to the IBM more than I would IBM's...
