I've been using DEC products quite a lot - all my programming courses were on VAXen under VMS, and I'm writing this on a DECstation under Ultrix, but I know almost nothing about their older machines - the various PDP's, DECsystems etc. Also, there seems to have been quite a lot of different operating systems used on these boxes. Could someone please give me some information about the older systems, both hard- and software - in what order were they developed, in which way are they related or different and so on (for example, I've seen very little of TOPS-20 but it seems to have some similarities with VMS. Are they just superficial?) And how many of these old systems are still in use?
