Jay,
Thanks for posting the pointer to this great information.
Todd Poyner now works as a software engineer for MontaVista Software.
MontaVista has many HP-DSD/1000 Alumni:
Todd Poyner - Don't know what Todd did at DSD, after my time
Lee Courtney - RTE-6VM and follow-on CS80 support then on to Vision,
Spectrum and other things MPE related
Kevin Morgan - intern working on RTE-IVE and then Lab (or Project?) Manager
for HP-RT
George Anzinger - George is Mr. RTE, from the beginning to the bitter end.
Scott Anderson - HP-RT?
Kristin Anderson - RTE/HP-RT Support
Mark Orvek - HP-RT
Johnny Klonaris - HP-RT (QA?)
RTE-6 was my first project out of school and it, along with the project
manager Mike Manley (he wrote CMM4 and CMM6), really laid a great foundation
for my career. A great fun exciting project during great fun exciting
times - in the computing industry and HP. BTW - Bob Frankenberg, who later
went on to head Novell, was our HP1000 Lab Manager in the late 70s. In those
days hardware, software, and support orgs were all small enough to sit on
the same floor - 42U on the Cupertino site. There was a fab in 42L doing SOS
chips. QA was downstairs in Building 40?, and manufacturing (all - M/E/F/A
and 2250) in 41? in Cupertino.
Cheers,
Lee Courtney
