Look I grew up with a 256K byte RAM Unix V6 system on

and an RK07 for storage. We swapped. Yeah, I never ran a window
manager, but he had a number of 9600K terminals on DH11's and we were
happy. You could see it swapping like mad, but that system never
crashed. It just ran and ran and ran.
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.)
