Comment Pastel and LLNL (Score 5, Informative) 192

Pastel was an extended Pascal compiler developed by LLNL for the S-1 supercomputer project
http://www.cs.clemson.edu/~mark/s1.html

It, and several other significant pieces of software, including the SCALD hardware design language
were made freely available by LLNL. I have one version of the compiler, which was donated to the
Computer History Museum by one of its authors. I have been looking for the other pieces since the
late 80's.

If you look at the GNU Manifesto, RMS was also looking at using the MIT Trix kernel in the early days
of the project.

Comment Apple prototypes (Score 1) 556

"I was under the impression that they had been given tot the Computer History Museum."

I've tried to find out what happened to them, without luck. Hopefully someone in facilities knew what they were and hid them somewhere.
The prototypes in the lobby disappeared several years after the Apple Library was given away.
