You aught to be able to run any pdp-11 operating system except ATT V7 unix(no
supported peripherals), BSD2.11(no I+D), and I don't think mumps will work.
I'm pretty sure you can use at least a rd53.

Hello list,
I've been recently offered a Pro350 unit, depending on whether I can get
past my budget and the wife. :-)
Said unit has 256kB RAM and a 10MB disk, presumably a RD51. No operating
system. 4 SLU async card. VR201 monochrome monitor. F-11 CPU (LSI-11/23).
Some questions I have:
1. What OS can I run on this system? (Yes, I've heard the nightmares of the
Piece of S* O/S). I was thinking in lines of RT-11...if so possible, then
where can I get RT-11 for the Pro350? Is RSX-11 available for the Pro350?
2. Correct me if I'm wrong: Since it's the F-11 CPU, then it'll be limited
to 18-bit addressing, therefore maximum RAM supported is 256kB, right?
3. Can I "upgrade" the RD51 with a RD54? Perhaps that depends of the
bootROM and O/S support, right?
Thanks.
