Definitely yes for PDP. When I was at Lifeboat Associates we had a PDP-11/34 (with the "programmer's console) which ran it. The whole thing (hardware and software) came from Microsoft - the idea was to allow developers to have access so they could port / create new versions of the software they had written for CP/M. As I recall, it didn't really get used a lot - but I was in a different group (OEM development, doing CP/M implementations for companies like Datapoint).
