I had a PDT-11/150 many years ago, mid-80s. It was kinda fun, but
also kinda pointless. The only thing you can run on it is RT-11.
I had one too back then and had a blast! RT-11 is terrific (infinitely
better than contemporary microcomputer OSes), and anyway a 150 will run
pretty much anything an 11/03 will run (but with 30 KW of memory instead of
just 28) so it's really pretty flexible. I wrote a FORTH-79 system on mine ...
FWIW, for those who like Forth, there's a Forth implementation available as a run-time
system on RSTS/E. It's part of the unsupported stuff on V10.1 (and possibly somewhat
earlier, maybe as early as V9.0, I forgot). I did the port; I used it among other things
for implementing an interactive crash dump analyzer *very* loosely modeled on VMS
"SDA".
