The question is
however is there something else? I know fuzzball is
around but I don't know if that is a option for most -11 users.
I don't
think so, since some of Fuzzball, if I remember correctly,
is built under RT-11 and runs under RT-11. I don't think I've seen
a Fuzzball system which was entirely self-bootable. (Maybe John
Wilson can answer, since he's done some stuff with it).
John Wilson does have self-bootable Fuzzball images on
ftp.dbit.com,
in /pub/pdp11/fuzzball.
Fuzzball is an "operating system" of sorts, but you can't do development
with it unless you have the RT-11 macro assembler, linker, and other
program development tools, so there isn't a lot of interesting stuff
you can do with it unless you've also got a RT-11 license.
TSX+ is pretty much the same way - without the RT-11 utilities you're
dead in the water.
