Errors
The article states that executables have to be on SYS:. This is incorrect. They can be on any device. However, the build-in command "R" requires that the executable be on SYS:, but there is also "RUN", which includes the device name in the name of the executable to run.
The article also mentions that RTS/8 allows for a virtual OS/8 instance, which is correct. However, it only allows for *one* such instance, so it's not possible for multiple users to have their own OS/8 instances using RTS/8. But there are non-DEC OSes for the PDP-8 that give each user their own virtual PDP-8 running OS/8. For example Multos-8. --Bqt (talk) 18:53, 27 October 2022 (CEST)
