I did some testing on the image sets using simh.
I had to prepare the images first using lbn2rx50
<http://www.chdickman.com/pdp11/>, because simh expects them to be in
logical order.
Results:
ULTRIX-11 V3.0: All images good
MicroRSTS V2.1: The third image throws an error:
*sim> ATT RQ2 RSTS21-3.RX5%SIM-INFO: RQ2: 'RSTS21-3.RX5' Contains a RSTS
File system%SIM-INFO: RQ2: Pack ID: MICR3 Revision Level: 1.2 Pack
Clustersize: 1%SIM-INFO: RQ2: Last Unallocated Sector In File System:
799sim> c?Error opening Backup set?Device hung or write lockedMount volume
3 on device _DU2:Press RETURN when ready:*
MicroRSX V2.1: Have not found out yet which one of the images is the one to
start with. Is the image set complete?
I thought that RSX4-I.IMG <https://www.crystel.com/pdp/os/RSX4-I.IMG> was
the one (with an I instead of a 1), but all I got was:
*Trap stack push abort, PC: 000014 (000040)*
Maybe that image is bad, too ...

Chris,
I would be interested in getting a copy of the SSPS/X software for
POS. I have a manual for SPSS/11 and would love to try to get the software
running under RSX11M+ if possible.
Thanks,
Mark
