I taught a graduate course at Brown on the internals of TSS/360, CP-67, and Multics in the early 1970s. One year the class project was to replace the paging and tasking support of CP-67. We also did a nice little hack that gave CP-67 users virtual disks that were actually implemented as virtual memory pages. Prior to that the smallest virtual disk was a megabyte, and we only had 240 MB of real disk storage, but this allowed disks as small as 4K, which meant we could give Brown students accounts.
I've often said that Multics was a vast improvement on all of its successors, including UNIX, Linux , Mach, and maybe even NeXTSTEP.
