[comp.os.misc] Heard of iRMX 86 ???

rackland@csis.dit.csiro.au (Ross Ackland) (03/06/91)

I was recently given a 5 1/4" floppy disk that I am trying to figure out
the file structure. I noticed on the first sector a reference to what might
be the OS from which the files originated.

Has anyone heard of: iRMX 86

Any information would be appreciated

Yes.

iRMX 86 is an Intel OS for the 80x86 family processors.
Its command/filename syntax is similar to that used by Intel's
ISIS OS for their 8080 system, except the subdirectories have
been added (ISIS used a flat file system).

I think iRMX 86 also includes some support for "real time multi-tasking",
but don't know for sure.
