It is arrayed in several rows of 64kbit 16pin dips on
the ram card and is
definitely 512kbyte and is parity ram.
OK, generally that would be listed as 256KW, so wasn't sure which it was.
Doesn't sound like a huge amount of ram to me as my
Data General Mini has
8mb onboard. Now that is a BIG ram card!
I had 4MB in my main one, which is where a PDP-11 maxes out, however, I
downgraded to 2MB, as I didn't need that much and wanted to keep the other
2MB board as a spare. I'd have even less in the system, but I run a couple
other OS's on it that can make better use of RAM (but even for them 2MB is
an outrageous amount of RAM for a single user system).
Does RT11 have:
Virtual Memory?
Networking?
How do I run it? I can do dirs and type files etc but I really need some
docs on the operating system to get anywhere with it. Thanks for the
reply! --
Try typing 'help'.
No need for virtual memory that I'm aware of, and as far as I know it doesn't.
Do you have an ethernet card for it? If so you can get TCP/IP for it for
free (the only PDP-11 OS with free TCP/IP).
