Hmmm. Porting (or writing a work-alike of) RSX-11 for a newer

That would be extremely yummy.
I wonder how hard it would be? I can't say that I'm very familiar with
the capabilities of RSX, but, considering the size of the code we're
talking about, could it be possible that it wouldn't involve as much
work as writing a more modern, featureful, cluttered, bloaty operating
system?
It's
damnably slow, but at least it works.
Yep. The scary thing is...an OS like
RSX-11 or RSTS/E is quite
zippy on a machine like that. Note that you typed "suck as PC"
above...Freudian slip? ;)
Probably. 8-)
