Peter,
I just set up a pregenned RL02 based RSX11M+ and took a look at the DD driver. It is a
vectored driver and needs to have the /VEC switch to tell it not to use the default
RSX11M.STB but instead use RSXVEC.STB
I was able to load the DDDRV with:
LOA DD:/VEC/PAR=GEN/HIGH
The /PAR=GEN overrides trying to put the driver in DRVPAR that won’t have room for it
unless you reVMR
The /HIGH puts the driver at highest available memory in GEN to avoid fragmenting the
memory in GEN
Best,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Thank you so much for this information! Seeing this, I was on the right track but was
missing a few items.
I typed this into a file on the PDP and ran it, but now it turns out I don't have the
RSX11M.OLB file, so I guess I am just going to have to work on getting the sysgen stuff
onto my disk.
Again, thank you very much for the info!

think it should work for yours. Note that OU: is defined by the SYSGEN process and should
be set as a logical to your system disk (DL0:) or perhaps more simply just edited to be
SY: Also, note that it uses RSXVEC.STB which should work on the pregenned RL02 RSX11M+.
