Gary Kildall, who developed CP/M and MP/M, based much of the design of its file structure and command processor on operating systems from Digital Equipment, such as RSTS/E for the PDP-11. Besides accessing files on a floppy disk , the PIP command in CP/M could also transfer data to and from the following "special files":
Model As used the original PDP-10 memory bus, with external memory modules. The later Model B processors used in the DECSYSTEM-20 used internal memory, mounted in the same cabinet as the CPU. The Model As also had different packaging; they came in the original tall PDP-10 cabinets, rather than the short ones used later on for the DECSYSTEM-20.
Released in 1980, TSX-Plus was the successor to TSX, released in 1976. [2] The system was popular in the 1980s. The last version of TSX-Plus had TCP/IP support.. S&H wrote the original TSX because "Spending $25K on a computer that could only support one user bugged" (founder Harry Sanders); the outcome was the initial four-user TSX in 1976.
RSTS (/ ˈ r ɪ s t ɪ s /) is a multi-user time-sharing operating system developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC, now part of Hewlett-Packard) for the PDP-11 series of 16-bit minicomputers.

The PDP-10 assembly language instructions LDB and DPB (load/deposit byte) live on as functions in the programming language Common Lisp. See the "References" section on the LISP article. The 36-bit word size of the PDP-6 and PDP-10 was influenced by the programming convenience of having 2 LISP pointers, each 18 bits, in one word.
FOCAL was later implemented on the PDP-7, PDP-9, PDP-10, PDP-11, PDP-12, PDP-5 and LINC-8. The FOCAL manual showed how to add commands to the FOCAL parser, so many sites added specialized commands for operating custom hardware. The Digital Equipment Computer Users' Society collected many patches and enhancements for FOCAL. There were even major ...
The use of RADIX 50 was the source of the filename size conventions used by Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11 operating systems. Using RADIX 50 encoding, six characters of a filename could be stored in two 16-bit words, while three more extension (file type) characters could be stored in a third 16-bit word.
