Well, I'll just say one thing... back when I was first introduced to the
concept of a memory management unit demand paged virtual memory was an
extremely exotic concept for machines smaller than mainframes. There was
no such machine as a vax. Even today, the beast you're talking about is
generally referred to as a PMMU.

Of course back then even a non-P MMU was considered an option rather than
a necessity even for machines like the PDP-11.
