| Chaosnet was developed at MIT, where it was initially implemented for [[wp>Lisp machine|LISP machines]] and [[wp>Incompatible Timesharing System|ITS]], then also for [[wp>TOPS-20]], VMS, Unix, and MINITS. At MIT, there were approximately 447 computers and 17 subnets in use in 1989 (according to ''SYSHST;HSTMIT 1115''). | Chaosnet was developed at MIT, where it was initially implemented for [[wp>Lisp machine|LISP machines]] and [[wp>Incompatible Timesharing System|ITS]], then also for [[wp>TOPS-20]], VMS, Unix, MINITS, and Multics.

| The main spread in the rest of the world was through LISP machines: the original MIT machines, the [[wp>Lisp Machines|LMI]] and [[wp>Symbolics]] machines, and the [[wp>TI Explorer|Texas Instruments]] machines. Only a few other types of computers ran Chaosnet, but it was apparently popular enough that [[https://docstore.mik.ua/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ssr83/rpc_r/48381.htm|Cisco implemented it in their routers]]. | The main spread in the rest of the world was through LISP machines: the original MIT machines, the [[wp>Lisp Machines|LMI]] and [[wp>Symbolics]] machines, and the [[wp>TI Explorer|Texas Instruments]] machines.
