I used to support an operating system called EMAS at the University of
Kent, in the UK, in the 1980s. I did work on various parts of it. It ran
on a not very well known architecture; the ICL 2900 series (with origins
in the Manchester Mu5).

I am giving a hybrid lecture to the Computer Conservation Society at BCS
London on the 17th of November. The title is:

"The Edinburgh Multi Access System (EMAS)"

In summary, the talk will cover the history of EMAS, and then look at
some of the more interesting technical aspects of the system. There may
also be some surprises for a few of you.

Note that this is a hybrid lecture; you can attend in London (places
limited to about 60), or you can attend via Zoom. In both cases, you need
to book. More details here:

https://computerconservationsociety.org/.../20221117.htm

I hope this is of interest; if you do attend in London, I would love to
meet you!

Yes. It may take a little while, although now that Zoom is in use, it's
quite a lot quicker. Details are on the site under 'Lectures'.

I suppose "..." should be "lectures/2022-23" - or is my newsreader doing
something with your post?

Looks as if something has collapsed that part. It should end with:

"org/lectures/2022-23/20221117.htm"

Or just go here and select Lectures from the laft hand side, then look.
