I think it was six only because it could deal with both RL01 and RL02 
(or was it 5?). But that means it would minimally still be three RL02.

Two RL02 sounds like way too little, but I really don't know. A big 
difference is that RSX comes with sources, and tools to build the whole 
thing. VMS never did that.

But the again, VMS is larger that RSX, so it should at minimum even 
things out. :-)
