[inforoots] ZODIAC Operating System from CDC

[Peter Capek]

I recall a presentation - but at this point none of the details - about a
project at Berkeley to develop
something called CALIDOSCOPE - CAL Improved Design Of SCOPE.   The name Dave
Hussey sticks with me, as that of one of the key designers.   I wonder if
this evolved into CAL TSS.  The
presentation I heard was probably at a meeting of the 6x00 user
organization, called VIM.
