The file system of an integrated local network – Apollo File System (1985)

Article note: Apollo Domain/OS is one of those bits of fully realized alternate history that everyone in computing owes it to themselves to experience, it was so far ahead and so clean compared to anything else that came to the market. I've only ever played with one in emulation (MESS can do it, it's not _too_ fiddly - but a single node isn't the full magic experience because a lot of their majesty is their network transparency), but if I ever get a line on a one that isn't several hundred dollars I'd _absolutely_ own any of the later Apollo (or HP 9000/4xx) machines; I like and own enough 68k boxes already, it would be a variation on an existing theme.
