[Info-vax] OT: obscure PDP11 OSes (even more dinosaury)

[Jan-Erik Soderholm]

Browsing around in our development system, I found a MAR
file with the following as a comment at the top:

;
; FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:
;
; DOWN_LINE_LOAD.
; THE ALLOCATED TT_LINE IS DEALLOCATED. A MAILBOX IS CREATED TO BE
; USED TO COMMUNICATE WITH A SUBPROCESS, WHO TAKES CARE OF
; THE COMMUNICATION WITH THE PDP-11/23 AND LOADS THE 11/23 WITH
; A RSX-11/S SYSTEM...
;

So you could "load" a PDP with an RSX system over a serial line!?
And the VMS system must have had a RSX-11/S "image" available?

Maybe I read to much into that comment, they might just be saying
that the PDP actualy is running a RSX-11/S system... :-)

Jan-Erik.
