16K RAM does not make for much of an RT11 system. The
industrial/beefy
11/40's all have parity RAM. My PDP 11/05 has the same core stack as this
11/35.
I agree with Paul. I've seen dozens of RT-11 systems and non-parity MOS
memory has been more common in the ones I've seen. I see no reason to
think it would be a problem. True, 16K is small even for RT-11, but
I've seen plenty like that too.
