My very first machine was a Univac 90/70 D running VS/9 at the college I attended. I was also a student operator there. Then there was a Burroughs 1800 where I interned. I don't remember its OS. It also had CANDE, TSO ish editor.
After grad, at another shop, 3 4341 - one for prod only, one for development, testing, and sandbox. It would be re-ipled for each at different times. The third was used for VM. The biggest boss (controller of jobs and $$) was very fond of VM, CMS, Script and some accounting and tracking software there, so if we had a hardware issue and VM went down, it would get the development box.
