At least VMS meant something.

Virtual Memory System

Before that (on PDP-11's) there was

RSTS - Resource Time Sharing System
RT-11 - Real time 1.5kb Kernel!
RSX (-11A -11B -11C -11D -11M -11S -11M/Plus) - Resource Sharing
eXecutive (IIRC)
Very few outside of DEC would have come upon -11A, B or C.
-11S was a memory only O/S. You could load it from DecTape

Then on Dec-10/20's there was TOPS
Can't remember what that one was.

Quiz for those old enough to remember.
12704
00100
12703
00200
60304

What is the answer (in Decimal Please) and how could it be simplified.
