 The system supported a real-time clock, printing terminal, VT11 vector graphic unit, 16 channel 100 kHz A/D converter with 2 channel D/A, 9600 baud serial port, 16 bit bidirectional boards, etc.RT-11 implemented a simple and fast file system employing six-character filenames with three-character extensions ("6.3") encoded in RADIX-50, which packed those nine characters into only three 16-bit words (six bytes).All files were contiguous, meaning that each file occupied consecutive blocks (the minimally addressable unit of disk storage, 512 bytes) on the disk.
