Can anybody explain how the Mentec boards fit into all of this.
My understanding was they were the next generation of PDP11.
There still seems to be a mystery around what happened to the rights to
PDP11 they held. I have seen a recent reference to them having been sold to
an unnamed American company who would quote 'Make them available'.
Can anybody solve the mystery of what actually happened?
?

I have done that and it runs RT out of the box on a
T11.
Did you build a T-11 system? Can you post more information ?
Forget RT11FB, RSTS or RSX as they will not do well in
24KW.
FWIW, RSX-11S will run on an unmapped system. Of course RSX-11S was
intended for "embedded" applications and it's not very useful as a general
purpose OS. And in theory you can build RSX-11S systems on an RSX=11M or M+
system, but I'm not sure all the stuff you need is part of the standard M/M+
distribution so it might be hard to come up with the necessary files.
Didn't at least some DSSI drives, like the RX7x, have embedded T11s that
ran RSX-11S?
