From Wikipedia here: PRIMOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PRIMOS was an operating system developed during the 1970s by Prime Computer for its minicomputer systems. It rapidly gained popularity and by the mid-1980s was a serious contender as a mainline minicomputer operating system. With the advent of PCs and the decline of the minicomputer industry Prime was forced out of the market in the early 1990s.
Prime Computer is also sometimes referred to as "Pr1me" and PRIMOS as "Pr1mos". (Note: Actual system documentation of the day displays the alternate spelling as "PR1ME" or PR1MOS", which avoids the unfortunate visual "hump" that appears in the lower-case rendition due to the height of the "1").
