    This sounds to me that Cutler and maye RSX was about the same time
that Ritchie and Thompson also got Unix together. And I guess it was 5
years later that Kildall put CP/M together. And the 8" diskette came
together.

Actually, Ritchie and Thompson did Unix before Cutler did RSX. But Cutler didn't design RSX, he just reimplemented it. The early versions of RSX are contemporary with Unix, yes.

Well you would know. But I've always heard Dave Cutler given full credit for RSX. I know he designed NTFS.
