Nothing.   It was one of the most spectacular failures in DEC history.   A whole new OS (well, based on RSX I believe) and new hardware designed specifically for it (VT62), canceled a week after it was first announced.

Interesting, I always though the 11/60 held that honor.

Hm...   All I know about the 11/60 is that there were a few of them around the building I worked.   One of them was used by WPS-8 development (running RSTS) -- because the 11/60 was the fastest PDP-8 ever built thanks to custom microcode that implemented PDP-8 emulation.
