Hadn't
really noticed; I went straight from CP/M to Unix, giving
MS-DOS a miss.
I was actually thinking about OS/8 and RT-11.

RT11 was my first home system... Got to love those DEC employee purchase
PDT11/150's.
Slow as hell but the OS was miles beyond DOS and CP/M.
VT180 was next followed by an AT&T 6300 DOS/Xenix box.

I've got a PDT11/150 and VT100.
I wonder where the 8" floppies went. Anyone willing to duplicate a bootable PDT11
RT11 floppy?

Not really, but I have a couple of drives it you want them. I gave my
PDP-11 away a couple of years ago.

In my case, it's trivial: it jumps to the start of the buffer (J) and then
crashes by trying to go to (O) the label "HN COWAN" and failing.
