Basic Facts
Basic facts on TMX OS: --Fedkad (talk) 18:03, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 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: : . . . ;
 * 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
