I know my IGS (long gone) ran
IOS 8.x (upgraded from 6.x as I recall), and there was 9.x update that involved swapping PROMs. Never saw 10 on an IGS; that would have been a very, very tight fit since the IGS only had 1 or 2M RAM. Pretty sure 10.x ran on the AGS+ if you had enough memory.
10.x can indeed run on the AGS+. I've never seen it on any smaller *GS router.
CGS/MGS/AGS/ACS all had the same processor back plane so if it had enough memory it could run the IOS. The AT&T Model 200 BRouter (CGS) I have has a CSC3 (68030) with at least 9.x. The ACS (Dave?) has 9.x also.
Nice. I've never heard of the ACS, though. There was a "communications server", more or less a terminal server in that family, maybe that was it, but I don't recall the model name.
Played around with IOS 15.5 the other day...times have changed.
Yeah but it's still IOS, and still looks a whole lot like TOPS-20. :-)
That would be because Cisco was influenced by the DEC equipment CLI.
I spoke with the developers in 1989 about that.
Yup. Not to name-drop, but one of the founders lives a few blocks from here. He was quite excited to see the DECsystem-2020s here. I got a nice contract job from him (embedded systems design) too, which was very cool. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
