I had one at Harvard, about a decade ago. It ran RT-11 but used a
lab/graphics version of BASIC which was essentially the command shell
(similar to RSTS/E but not quite the same thing.) You could get out of
the BASIC and into RT-11 only by taking the system disk and bringing
it over to a real RT-11 system and editing some command files and
adding some missing pieces.

We got Unix/V6 running on the thing, that was Unix running on a 64KB
LSI-11/2 (not 11/23, no MMU) with just two 512KB floppy drives (RX02)
(including swap.) It was, um, amusing.

That wasn't the smallest configuration PDP-11 we had Unix running on,
tho close.
