If that is one board, it sounds like an M8067 board. If you have a BA23
box with 8 slots total and some are unused, than more M8067 memory is
basically free if you can find some.
Doesn't sound like a huge amount of ram to me as
my Data General Mini has
8mb onboard. Now that is a BIG ram card!
RT-11 does not need much memory. I don't have any experience with CTS300.
Does RT11 have:
Virtual Memory?
Networking?
How do I run it? I can do dirs and type files etc but I really need some
docs on the operating system to get anywhere with it. Thanks for the
reply! --
Virtual memory - yes! It grabs RAM if you have enough (which you do not)
and the VM.SYS device driver makes VM: look like a disk drive. If you had
4 MBytes of memory and used 2 MBytes for VM:, that would give you a device
of 4096 blocks.
For networking, you can use TCPIP.
Which version of RT-11? V5.0x will be displayed at boot. Or type the command
"SHOW CONFIG"
and that will do it after you boot. It may be off the screen - "CTRL/S" will
stop the
display ("CTRL/Q" restarts the display) or NOSCROLL if you have that on your
keyboard will toggle that aspect for the display. DOCs are THREE feet of binders.
Sincerely yours,
