I'm sure you mean something standard so this doesn't fit, but in 1985
I wrote a stand-alone time-slicing version of the FORTH-79 system I'd
been working on, that ran on a PDT-11/150 (which is essentially a bad
emulation of a PDP-11/03) with four terminals on the DLV-like ports.
Years ago I did more work to make it auto-size a bit, and support
mass storage other than the PDT's RXT11 controller (I briefly had it
working with real DECtapes while the hardware was still alive).
Fun stuff, even if it's totally impractical.
