RSX is quite distinct from the other PDP-11 OS offerings made by DEC, both in design and history. RSX-11 is a modified version of RSX-15, an OS used on the PDP-15; RSX-15, in turn, hailed from a Bunker-Ramo RW-300 process control system (circa late 1950s). | ||
RSX-11 started off as a humble paper-tape real-time executive, only bootable from DOS-11; later on it evolved into a multiuser system, then a fully-fledged timesharing system.
