You REALLY want to check what Alan Frisbie has done this past year
before spending
a lot of time on this. I see in alt.sys.pdp11 that he just listed an
RT 5.6 manual
set on eBay. It is highly unlikely he would be selling it if it
hasn't already been
scanned.
For anyone who is interested, the V05.06 RT-11 DOC set
is IDENTICAL to the V05.07 RT-11 DOC set EXCEPT
for the Release Notes.
As far as I know, ALL of those manuals have been scanned
into PDF files and are available for download. In practice,
that means there are two Release Notes manuals, one for
V05.06 of RT-11 and another for V05.07 of RT-11. And
there is a single manual for the rest of the RT-11 DOC set
manuals for both V05.06 of RT-11 and V05.07 of RT-11
since Mentec made no changes at all to any of the V05.06
RT-11 DOC set manuals EXCEPT for the Release Notes.
If anyone would appreciate a link to the PDF files for these
manuals, please ask. I don't have it handy at the moment.
But it should not be difficult to find the link again.
After much searching, I finally found a link to the V05.06 manuals:
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/dec/pdp11/rt11/v5.6_Aug91/
What I was surprised to learn is that there is even a Volume 0 manual:
AA-M214D-TC RT-11 Quick Reference Manual
is the manual which is placed into this volume.
Also the Release Notes manual PDF file and that link are:
AA-5286L-TC_RT-11_System_Release_Notes_Aug91.pdf
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/dec/pdp11/rt11/v5.6_Aug91/AA-5286L-T…
However, I have NOT been able to locate is a PDF for the
V05.07 RT-11 Release Notes. That front page has the following
information:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RT-11

Pages A-1 to A-2
Pages B-1 to B-8
Pages C-1 to C-30
Pages D-1 to D-1
Pages E-1 to E-8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone knows if the V05.07 RT-11 Release Notes manual has been
scanned and the PDF made available on the internet, a link to that location
would be appreciated.
