Basic Facts

Basic facts on TMX OS:

• Multiuser, multitasking
• Proprietary network - LBN (local branch network)
• Later versions had Token-Ring support (LBN emulation)
• Device support for financial application on LBN - NCR dump terminals, passbook printers, cash dispensers, magnetic stripe reader and pinpad
• SNA LU emulations for mainframe connectivity
• Fixed peripheral device configuration during boot time. Configuration changes were made using the SYSGEN command
• Flat file system. No sub-directories. File name format: <diskname>:<userno>.<catalogname>.<filename>.<ext>;<version>
• Text files and index sequential data files
• C compiler not ANSI C compliant
• 32-bit architecture
• limited memory (several MB) and disk (~100 MB)
• NCR Tower-5000 systems were also capable of running UNIX SVR3 version

I'm pretty sure that the C compiler was the Whitesmiths' compiler and the system pre-dated ANSI C
