That was the plan. I found that the 11/130 I have runs
RT-11 quite
nicely and it's the fastest of the tu58 based systems (uses an oddball
parallel interface tu58).
And is that using the technique I developed for positioning files
on the TU58 to reduce latency on RT? I've had RT cold boot from TU58
in as little as 28 seconds...
Think of it as more flexible... runnin for the door.
;)
Ahem...
Seriously the hardware boys seemed to be just a touch
off center for the
realm. Even the VT180, a very good CPM engine design they left off
two sided (rev-H has it but I've never seen a real one) and that crippled
disk expansion to the denser two sided media.
Bounded System:
A system which would be usable if it could be expanded...
... but it can't because it's bounded.
