An 11/03 can address 64k of memory. As such, Xinu probably isn't a good idea. For a machine like that, you're best off running rt11

For a machine like that, you're best off running rt11 Xinu was meant to be run on 11/03's or 11/02's, but it just plain doesn't *do* much. It provides some multi-tasking, but it hardly has a file system, and its compiler isn't self-hosting (you need a VAX to compile your systems and download them). Xinu would be real good if you're interested in using the 11/03 to run some dedicated applications (process control, or something like that). For general use, I agree, RT-11 is the way to go. --Pat.
