In George Gray and R.Q. Smith's book "Unisys Computers: An Introductory >History", they say that the 1986 takeover (AKA "merger") caused work on

Atlanta development center to come to an end.
I thought that was Project Roanoke.
Does anyone know anything about this "advanced" OS?
IIRC, it was a capability system based off of KeyKOS. I'd take that recollection with a boulder of salt, were I you.
What was supposed to make it so special?
It was a capability system. There may have been some special hardware
sauce,as well.
What capabilities and/or features was it supposed to have?
Enquiring minds and all that.
Thanks in advance.
