What\'s that with the CP/M predecessor? Wasn\'t it RT-11, a one-task RT OS, while RSX-11 was much more complex and supported multitasking? BTW, when DEC switched from PDP-11 line to its 32-bit extention, the VAX, it was RSX-11 developer, Dave Cutler, who was given the task to write a reference os for the new platform, the famous VAX/VMS. Which was later, when Cutler left for Microsoft, resurfaced in a new form as Windows NT.
