This means that while buying a Micro/PDP-11 will get you a general OS license, you are expected to get the actual media through other means, like having a bigger RSTS system. The idea here is to allow OEM's to market the Micro/PDP-11 - and give them REAL control. The end user can't buy Micro-RSTS on RX50's. (Although one can take his RSTS/E tapes to a Dec office and change media for a slight fee.) Previously I was told Micro-RSTS comes pre-genned. I am now told that the OEM has to make a sil on HIS machine and transfer it to the Micro-PDP/11. At present the only compatible media is RL02, with RC25's coming soon. (RX02's are available too, but make life difficult as they're NFS.) Micro-RSTS is a genuine RSTS V8.0, minus a few cusps Dec decided weren't so common. There is a execute-only version of Basic+, and yyy]}2o}ur swapfiles are most likely very small compared to those on a full 63 job system. There is nothing stopping you from implementing full RSTS with Basic+, BP2, etc. I am told the spooling package IS now only one job... I'll wait to see that.
