- Well, not entirely. I did the last RSX updates to Kermit-11 (I think; it
- was V3.60) on a Micro/RSX V4.0 system. V4.0 *DID* have a TTDRIVER problem
- that would crash the system unless you carefully dropped priv's before the
- SF.SMC QIO's. I think I found most of these. I also modified the connect
- driver code so that it buffered input, and added the DF224 to the defined
- modem list. I ran the task under V4.0 through V4.3 (when RSX and I parted
- ways, alas), and it behaved well.
-
- I think that Brian Nelson did do most of the original development on RSTS,
- but a lot of folks have had a go at the code now.
