Nothing. It was one of the most spectacular failures in DEC history. A whole new OS

Interesting, I always though the 11/60 held that honor.
Hm... All I know about the 11/60 is that there were a few of them around the building I
worked. One of them was used by WPS-8 development (running RSTS) -- because the 11/60
was the fastest PDP-8 ever built thanks to custom microcode that implemented PDP-8
emulation.
