The MIT-Multics archive is most complete for later (post-1975) material, with a focus on Multics as a commercial product.
This organization was administratively separate from the original Project MAC / Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS) development team,īut there was close cooperation through the whole time, and personnel moved from one organization to another occasionally. MIT's Information Processing Services organization played a major development and QA role under contract to Honeywell (through 1984). MIT-Multics was a campus computing utility, run as a service to MIT and MIT-associated customers. The MIT Collection is estimated to represent approximately 100,000 sheets (185,000 page images) of non-duplicate scannable material. Its documents cover MIT's participation in the development process from the beginning through the late 1980's. The MIT Collection is a large collection of Multics-related material maintained by Roger Roach since the 1969 beginning of MIT's Multics computer service. Multics Archives at MIT MIT-Multics Archives
The Multicians website preserves published papers, stories, photographs, articles, and source code about Multics.
Including nearly 100 Multics manuals that are part of the CHM collection. Has a non-functioning Multics machine and several troves of Multics documents as part of its collection.Īl Kossow maintains, which has scanned many historic computer manuals, The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, We work with other people interested in complementary historical activities: In addition, a Strategic Goal has emerged, namely to collect enough information to allow a Multics simulator to be created and operated. Over time, the focus has expanded to include the preservation of other collections of Multics information. The MHP began with a Tactical Goal, to preserve the MIT-Multics archives. We decided to try preserving the archives of Multics historical information that Roger had maintained since the early 1970s. Olin Sibert worked on Multics (initially for Roger, then at Honeywell CISL, then independently). Roger Roach worked on CTSS, then Multics, eventually as MIT's IS director, and retired in 2005. The evidence is inadequate to make strong recommendations for specific removal techniques.The Multics History Project (MHP) was begun in June 2004 by Olin Sibert and Roger Roach. It is important to understand the anatomy and the indications for subspecialist referral. Physicians need to have a high index of suspicion for foreign bodies in children with unexplained upper airway symptoms. Flexible or rigid endoscopy usually is required to confirm the diagnosis and to remove the foreign body. Pharyngeal or tracheal foreign bodies are medical emergencies requiring surgical consultation. Common removal methods include use of forceps, water irrigation, and suction catheter. Most ear and nose foreign bodies can be removed by a skilled physician in the office with minimal risk of complications. Diagnosis is often delayed because the causative event is usually unobserved, the symptoms are nonspecific, and patients often are misdiagnosed initially. The most common foreign bodies are food, plastic toys, and small household items. Foreign bodies in the ear, nose, and throat are occasionally seen in family medicine, usually in children.
