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-TC_RT-11_System_Release_Notes_Aug91.pdf
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
System Release Notes
Order Number AA-5286M-TC
October 1998
This manual contains the technical changes made to the RT-11 Operating
System since Version 5.6 and supplemental Notes from the Version 5.6 Release
Notes applicable to this version.
Revision/Update Information: This revised manual amends RT-11 System
Release Notes AA-5286L-TC
Operating System: RT-11 Version 5.7
Mentec
Computers & Communications
Number of Pages in each Section:
Pages i to ix
Pages 1-1 to 1-11
Pages 2-1 to 2-17
Pages 3-1 to 3-21
Pages 4-1 to 4-6
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.
