Lilith (computer)

From Free net encyclopedia

Lilith is the name of custom built workstation using the AMD 2901 bit-slice processor by the group of Niklaus Wirth at ETH Zürich. The project started in 1977 and by 1984 several hundred workstations were in use. It had a full page display, a mouse, a laser-printer interface, and a network interface. Its software was written completely in Modula-2 and included a relational database program called Lidas.

There was also a soviet clone of the Lilith called Kronos.
