Multics
If anyone actually knows what this is I'll be a bit surprised.
I'm looking for the file for Multics Operating System. Yes it's a bit old, but I wanna play around with it and it's nice to own a piece of computing history....that can probably fit on my flash drive easy. |

Uhm.. And which computer would you run it on? Or do you have a 1970s mainframe in your basement? With USB ports???

I think it would be fun just to see how it works, what methods they went through just to make it work back then and how efficient it is.
I also want to make a copy of it and tinker around with it. And I may have found an emulator that would let me run it. |

Actually, the MULTICS source code was released to the public just recently: http://web.mit.edu/multics-history/
Good luck making it work
