you are now running a rc8000 serviced by the operating system modules:
SOS, TEM and PRIMO
SOS is a swopping online system primarily running interactive jobs
- a number of jobs share the same piece of primary store (on time
sharing basis).
- the jobs may only make direct access to fast equipment like backing
storage, magnetic tape and floppy discs.
- terminals are accessed indirectly via sos and eventually via tem
- printers are accessed via primo
TEM is a terminal access module offering terminal multiplexing (a number of
terminals form a group) and terminal spooling via backing storage.
- different sorts of terminal access protocols may be supported by tem
(at present tty, format-8000 and "transparent mode")
PRIMO is a file router module offering file transfer to line printers,
tape readers, tape punches, card readers, and terminal readers
- including facilities for transfer queueing, transfer inquiery and
operator communication.
