Looking for bootable floppy image for a PDP11/20

by Martin Eberhard

I'm in the process of restoring a PDP11/20. Here is what is working so far: KA11 PDP11/20 CPU , power supply, programmer's console, etc. 32Kx16 SRAM/ROM board of my own design (Core memory will come later!) KE11-A Extended Arithmetic Element RX211 controller with RX02 drive, cleaned, spindle bearings replaced, aligned, tested, and working DL11-W Serial Line Unit with Real-Time Clock DL11 2nd serial port, modified to operate at 19,200 baud VT100, connected to the DL11-W I've written a program that lets me load a raw disk image (via Xmodem protocol) from the serial port onto a floppy disk, and verify the write. This works great, for both single-density and double-density. (It can set the media density as needed too.) I'm now looking for a bootable RT-11 floppy disk image (just a raw image, e.g. .IMG) that can boot and run on this limited hardware. The file should be exactly 256,256 bytes long if single-density, or 512,512 bytes long of double-density. (Actually, anything bootable on this hardware would be appreciated!) I'm new to this forum - let me know what is the protocol for giving you my email address... Thanks! Martin E.

AI? Really?

by Anders Gustafsson

Yes. I tried Operas Aria and asked a bit about HP1000 A-series. I started by asking the difference between A900 and A400 and got a reply that was partly correct, then followed up with some specific questions about the A400 that I happen to know rather well. It insisted that it had only 32Mb and it corrected itself. But the problem as always was that the answer LOOKED ok, but there was no way, without prior knowledge to weed out the errors. -- Med vänlig hälsning Anders Gustafsson, ingenjör

New DRAM (SIMM) board works but gives a parity error, only on cold powerup

by Anders Gustafsson

OK. As usual was the problem quite evident, once I understood it... I have two A400 boards. On that board I tested with I never took note of switch 8. It was unfortunately set to OFF indicating that there was backup power for memory. Thus the power lost flag was never set, which caused the parity error on startup. -- Med vänlig hälsning Anders Gustafsson, ingenjör
