Hm. I remember some RC25s on RSTS, and they seemed to be ok. The fact that they had two
drives on one motor made it strange, especially if the fixed platter was your system
device. We had to teach the OS how to deal with SY: going away temporarily.
It did make for nice compact systems, which was important when we got an order for a pile
of RSTS systems that would be installed on board submarines. Or so we were told.
