Another Systems Concepts?
While looking through SDS Sigma series material on Bitsavers, I found this, "TIME SHARING ASSEMBLER AND DEBUG SYSTEM", dated July 31, 1967, and shown as being done by "Systems Concepts". I don't know if it's the same Systems Concepts, or another organization of the same name.
That one's address is given as:
SUITE 300 FIRST FEDERAL BLDG. 401 WILSHIRE BOULEVARD SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA
The address given in the SA10 Users Manual (March 1, 1975) is given as:
520 THIRD STREET SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
but that's 8 years later, and they might well have moved - or the Santa Monica one might have folded, and another organization of the same name might have been started.
A Web search doesn't show up much for 'Systems Concepts Santa Monica', except that Larry Tesler worked there! Jnc (talk) 18:01, 13 August 2025 (CEST)
- This confirms Systems Concepts had offices in Santa Monica: https://bitsavers.org/magazines/Datamation/196607.pdf#page=125 Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 14:50, 18 August 2025 (CEST)
- Oh right, it doesn't prove it's the same. The Nelson-Levitt company was in operation at least from 1969, see https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/6174/AIM-172.pdf We could try to get hold of Stu Nelson, Peter Samson, or Fred Wright. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 07:55, 19 August 2025 (CEST)
