ASDD lab morphs into the Los Gatos lab after ASDD is eliminated.

Folklore is that after Future System ... implodes and there is mad rush
to get 370 products back into the pipeline (370 efforts were being
shutdown or suspended during FS period)

lots of advanced systems orgs were thrown into the development
breach. I've mentioned before that I believe the last advanced
system conference in 1976 which included presentations on 801/risc
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#801
and we did presentation on 16-way SMP 370.

until I held one at San Jose Resarch the spring of 1982 ... old past
with some of the agenda of that conference
http://www.garlic.com/~lnn/96.html#4a

one of the ATM folklore is that basement of Los Gatos Lab.  had a vault
that use to contain a ATM cash machine load of bills for dozens of
different currancies ... for testing bill feed mechanism.
