I have a friend who's needing a copy of RT-11 for
an SMS1000, any help in
finding a copy would be appreciated.
This chap works at a fische and printshop and the 11/34 they used for
talking to their lasers kicked it, so they're going to replace it with an
SMS1000 they have on hand.
The guy says that the stock PDP11/34 RT-11 image won't run on the SMS1000,
so he's assuming a more specialised version is required.
What version are they running? I've run standard RT-11 on a
SMS-1000. Either that or the version they currently have simply
needs setup for the SMS-1000. Keep in mind that the /34 is Unibus,
and the SMS-1000 is Q-Bus.
They probably need to talk to Mentec (http://www.mentec-inc.com/)
about getting a newer version than they're currently running from the
sounds of things. Since this is definitely for commercial use, you
can't simply find a copy somewhere.
