1978  - RSX-11M installations, mostly on PDP11/34's  - Version 3.1 comes to mind?
Made one (DR11 - parallel digital?) device driver for RSTS/E (V9?) for which I had to learn a bit of Teco as that was the bootloader of sorts or something like that.
Soon focused on RMS-11 and commercial languages as we called them: Basic-plus-2, Cobol and VAX Macro of course.
I spend a lot of time with TKB - the overlaying task builder - finessing ODL files :-)
1983 - Transition to VAX/VMS - I met some early versions but I seem to recall version 3.7 was our workhorse version.
1991 - VMS Engineering Vax V5.5-2 Amber release first, Helping with ports to Alpha for 6.0 (Blade?) soon after.
