Back to trying RSX-11M 4.8.   That's 100M and doubtful it'll complain.


Unless you want to feel the pain (or the joy) of manually defining
memory partitions, I'd suggest you to go PLUS :)


Can't!   No Split I&D.

M+ do not need split I/D-space. But you do need 512K of memory. But the
11/23 and 11/24 are supported CPUs.

    Didn't you advise me against running M+ on an 11/24 for reasons of no
split I/D space?   It's not that it won't work, it's that it won't be
pleasant.   M (non +) runs great on F11-based systems anyway.

I don't know (remember) what I might have said. But depending on different things, running M+ on an 11/23 or 11/24 can be a little painful. But running 11M in general is more painful than M+ anyway, so I would at least recommend trying M+.

(That said, without split I/D-space, you'll have preciously little pool
space, but that might not be a big issue for you right here.)

    I think that was why.

Yeah. Without supervisor mode and split I/D-space, you will have very little system pool. If you are not running a bunch of things on the system, you should still be able to survive though.
Oh, and my TCP/IP will not work on those systems.
