Minor correction.

The PDP-11/70 was the high end of the 16-bit PDP-11 family.
It ran RSTS/E, RSX-11, RT-11, MUMPS, DSM, Unix, and others.

11-780 is a reference to the first model of the 32-bit VAX
line, the VAX-11/780.  It ran (and still runs) VMS.  Early
versions had an RSX emulator mode for runing PDP-11 binary
programs.  I don't believe RSTS ever ran on a VAX.  I think
the VAX-11/780 was announced in November or December of 1978.
