Was that the RTOS used with the T-11 (the first single-chip PDP-11?)
I seem to remember that it was used as the RTOS in the LA-120 printer.
Oh, and I almost forgot - the only use of RT11 that I know of for an
"embedded" system was the CFEs for the VAX 780 and 8600 (on a 11/03 in the
former and a PRO in the latter). Are there any more?
The 86x0 uses a T11, and runs RT-11. You can even get into the RT-11 system and play
around, if you want to.
I'm not sure how complete a RT-11 system you had on the VAX-11/780, since it was
living on a single RX01 (or was that RX02?)
The PRO was for later VAXen. 8800-range, I think. Anyway, that one ran P/OS, which is RSX
derived.
