RT11 would run one led in from the left side and one from the right side
until they collided in the middle and kind of bounced off each other. RSX,
IIRC did something like the old Battlestar Galactica Cylon or Knight Rider
Kitt light pattern going left to right.

BSD 2.11 uses a set of rotating lights. I can't remember the number of
"on" lights but there's more than 1 (6 or 8?).
As does RSTS/E, 6 lights, I think.
