I always kind of liked the PRO, although the "native" OS, P/OS, is not a
feature. I actually have a 380 with an NI out in the garage; I should get it out and try
to install MicroRSX on it instead. Does anybody know if there's a copy of the version
with the PRO drivers somewhere?
Afraid it's going to be more complicated than that.
DEC in all it's wisdom decided to make the Pro hardware not really that
PDP-11 compatible. So any OS that you want to run on the Pro will need
to be rehacked in order to make it possible.
Any "normal" RSX will not run on the Pro out of the box. Neither will
any other OS.
If you want to, I can try start getting into things that need changing.
And also reflect a bit on some other parts of the hardware...
