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!
