Linked lists go back a long way.  FAT is one, in a sense.  DECtape file systems 
for DOS (also RSTS) are linked, in the blocks.  The same goes for the CDC 6000 
file system (more precisely, it has contiguous blocks within a track, and links 
from the last block in the track to the next track number).
