offer - OS/2 for the PDP-11

[Michael B. Brutman]

I'm confused about this whole thread.  I really thought that there was 
another entire OS/2 operating system (not from IBM) that people were 
talking about.

The early versions IBM OS/2 ran on the 80286 processor.  Later versions 
required a 386 processor.  There was an effort in IBM to put it on 
PowerPC derived boxes - I know people who worked on that, and was 
actually jealous that I didn't get on that project.  (In retrospect that 
was not such a bad thing.)

How on earth does something like IBM OS/2 ever get ported to a PDP-11? 
That doesn't seem feasible.  I'd have thought that I would have heard of 
such a thing before this thread.
