ISIS was certainly disgusting.  The MDS was a ridiculous tower of
iron, but it's brought a lot of embedded controllers to life!

PL/M is currently platformed to iRMX I and II, VAX/VMS, MS-DOS and 
(via the iRMK386 Developers' Kit) to UNIX/386. The latter port 
requires a kernel hack which was developed for Bell Tech's port and 
may or may not work with other AT&T derived 386 UNIXen. (Certainly not 
with Xenix or AIX or whatever.)
