This isn't just speculation - my first job at DEC
was in the group that supported TSS/8. I've seen the effort necessary to do much
simpler things given the memory available - for example, replacing
the RF08 code with code to support an RK8E/RK05 as the system disk took major bit bumming
to fit. Similarly the code to support the KL8-A four-line serial multiplexer that I wrote
was hard to jam in.
There's just no room. Adding the equivalent of the OS/8 USR (which handles the file
systems and takes up memory from 10000 through 11777 in OS/8) would be quite an
accomplishment.
silly to ask, but you don't still have the RK05 version, do you?
