I kinda came at things backwards. first DEC operating system I used was VAX/VMS
on an 11/780 in 1981. Then i got involved with some PDP-8/F and PDP-8/m systems
running ETOS. Then had a run-in with RSX-11 on a PDP-11/60 and RT-11 on some
sort of LSI-11, I think a PDP-11/23. After that, it was a VAX/VMS on an 11/730 as
well as on an 11/780 that I had all to myself, along with RT-11 on a variety of
PDP-11s. Got involved with Alpha/VMS before it was released, back when you had
to write device drivers in MACRO-32. Also had a bit of experience with Ultrix on
DECstations as well as OSF/1 on both Alphas and DECstations. Currently working
with VMS on Itanium.
