Hi Mark, Ooo! Awesome! It turns out my setup is missing a lot of things so rebuilding drivers doesn't seem to work. I am looking at redoing the install in a SIMH pdp11 to see if I can get a more complete installation. But this looks like it should solve the immediate problem. I will definitely try this later today when I get back home from work. Thank you! - Peter On Tue, Dec 31, 2024 at 10:14 AM Mark Matlock &lt;mark(a)matlockfamily.com&gt; wrote: > Peter, > I just set up a pregenned RL02 based RSX11M+ and took a look at the > DD driver.
