In the spring of 1978 I purchsed UCSD P-system for NS*. I paid $50 for
it then and still have it to day. It's use was inspired by a friends H11
running it and my taking a data structures course that was in pascal.
It was indeed useful and compared to the univac1180 I could do hours of
work in minutes do to not having to do the 029 batch submission dance.

I am presently rebuilding a stock NS* horizon to once again run ucsd
Psystem.

Micropower pascal, it was used to support embedded applications on the
Falcon card (T-11 dual width with ram, rom, io).
