>From the hp users group, interex, you can get the RTE-6 OS, but only
in fst format, which is some sort of tape dump/backup format that I
cannot (yet) decode, so I'm not sure how to build a loadable system...
The manuals are also available... If anyone knows how to decode
this to build bootable media, please let me know.
I believe this is under a sort of hobbist license (i.e. noncommercial
use...)
I would assume that all RTE systems post RTE-IV needed a 21MX
style computer (1000 series...) with the memory management option
installed (on later computers it may not have been an 'option'...)
Please correct me if I'm wrong...
