Why not?

Again, why not?

Having just written a new shell for PDP-7 UNIX (because the original
could not be found), I can't imagine much other than a lack of
something resembling a serial console that would prevent _some_
version/subset of KERMIT (or something similar like X or ZMODEM) from
being cobbled together.
