Shoot, I think just getting it to work in monochrome on a TV is interesting!

VENIX is a UNIX varient. Personally, of all the OS's available I'd
recommend RT-11. My Pro380 was originally a VAX console (they were used on
the 8000 somethings). It's still got the software for that on the hard
drive. I'm not sure what exactly it is, other than I don't think it's P/OS,
and it's most definitly not RT-11 or a UNIX varient.

I think it's also possible to run a version of 2.xBSD (2.9 IIRC) on the
Pro's.
