Scanned from Byte magazine December 1977:

Yes RT-68 was a scheduler for the 6800 processor. Not really an OS but a
way to run multiple task on a single Micro. If I remember right there was
a macro for each "task" you want to create, this created a scheduling block
for the scheduler. Somewhere I may still have the source to RT68 but I
would not bet on it.

In article <rW8gt.126826$lR.1...@en-nntp-16.dc1.easynews.com>,
That might be fun to play with if the source was still around. Was
there anything unique about the 6800 that it used or was it prety
generic?
Of course, being an OS hacker I would love to see all the old OSes
(real OS9, OS9-68K, all the original PDP-11 OSes, various flavors
of Tandy OSes, etc.) released to the world after they have outlived
their commercial viability. So much has been lost already and I
fear much more will be. They may not be commerical valuable, but
it is a part of our history and for some of us still has fond memories.
