Ok, files are up on https://www.crystel.com/pdp/os
and
https://www.crystel.com/pro350
Would you mind adding some kind of metadata to the files, please! A simple
photo of the diskette with the same filename-base as the image would help a
lot to understand what you have actually dumped. The other solution is to
write something into the metadata of the IMD file. I checked the
ULTRIX1.IMD file and there was no metadata in it. One of the RSTS disks had
metadata which is great! I know from my own experience that writing the
metadata into the IMD program for each dumped disk so therefore a
photo/scan of each disk would equally good (or in some ways even better).
All in all it is hard to discern what version it is and which of all the
install disks this really is. When you already did such a great effort to
dump all these disks I would kindly ask you to just take a photo of each of
them so other people could use them easily.
Thanks,
Mattis Lind
MicroRSX, Ultrix11, MicroRSTS/E, and um spss

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
