    With the justification that this old group is the closest I could
    find... I just discovered RSX280. This is a clone of RSX11, as
    realized on the Zilog Z280 CPU. Open source, and I must say it's
    a very impressive achievement:

    I'm rather tempted to code up a TECO in z80 assembler....

    Is that a further port of RSX180 which ran on the P112?
    I tried it and it was really cool. Have to give this a
    look, too. But I don't think I have anything that runs
    a Z280.

    I have always wanted to do a clone of RSTS like this but
    never seemed to get a round tuit.

    Yes, that's what the comments indicate.

    And even this is solved for you!

    RSTS/E was my first "big iron" when I started doing swing shift
    operator duties, but I always felt like RSX (11M) was more elegant.
    I suspect Dave Cutler's style resonated with me, even back then.

    Just stumbled in here and see the reference to Hector Peraza's
    RSX280. If you wish to try this using z280emu, I have my
    CompactFlash disk image up on Google Drive at -

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-JCkHZGTah-qvT_x8LwascZHC2v67hTU/view?usp=sharing

    To try it, decompress the cf00.dsk.gz file into the same directory as
    z280emu, then

    ./z280rc

    and on another window run this script to get the system console -

    #!/bin/sh
    save_state=$(stty -g)
    stty raw -echo
    nc -C 127.0.0.1 10280
    stty "$save_state"

    The image contains CP/M 2, CP/M-Plus, RSX280 and UZI280 for
    the Z280RC. To start UZI280 you must boot CP/M 3 and use the
    BOOTUZI command (I haven't yet added native boot code to UZI280
    from the monitor).

    bootuzi
    C:BOOTUZI COM

    UZI280 is (c) Copyright (1990-96) by Stefan Nitschke and Doug Braun

    boot: 0
    UZI280 version 1.12
    login: root
    [root]/usr/root#

    P.S. The "IO: Bogus" read and write messages from z280emu
    are a result of trying to access the Quad Serial port device. You can
    ignore these for now. I believe support will be added to z280emu
    at some stage.
