NFS at 40

[Paolo Amoroso]

Some of the original designers and developers of NFS published a website to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the technology: NFS at 40: Remembering the Sun Microsystems Network File System. The site features:

The core of the collection is design documents, white papers, engineering specifications, conference and journal papers, and standards material. However it also covers marketing materials, trade press, advertising, books, “swag”, and personal ephemera.

The section of the site on prior and competitive work also mentions the Alto IFS.

NFS at 40 is an interesting example of a repository of historical material on a computing technology.

≈  40 years ago was 1985. 

There was the LEAF protocol implementation in 1981, I think done for Smalltalk originally but I'm not sure.

 the configuration at Stanford was mainly Interlisp-D on their d-machines talking PUP protocol to Interlisp-D (the most significant client.). 

There was a TOPS-20 LEAF server on a Dec System 20. It might be possible to put together a PUP network using emulators for all of the pieces.
