You had *three* RK05s, an RK07, *and* a DH11?  We had just two, and a 
crappy DJ-11 on our /40s.  Pretty much stable; any bugs were fixed on the 
spot because we had the source code after all.

(They were configured that way to run RSX-11D, then that issue of the BSTJ 
appeared; the rest is history.)
