<
operating system> The first commercial
time-sharing system,
created by
Dartmouth College and sold by
General Electric
around 1967.
GE's Information Service Divsion (ISD) marketed
DTSS which was
running on a system called
GE-265 (a combination of the
front-end processor the
Datanet-30 and the
GE-235).
DTSS was ported (and significantly improved by GE ISD around
1965-1966 on a combination of DN-30 and
GE-635). This
proprietary system, called Mk-II, later improved by GE and
renamed Mk-III, is still working today (1997) as part of the
GE service bureau that also includes
IBM and
Unix
computers.
