Creating empty RM03 under Bob's emulator

by wanderer＠bos.nl

Hello All, When I create an empty RM03 under Bob's emulator witht the badblock option and then mount it under RSX, it complains, telling me that it is an alignment pack! Is there a way to get around this problem? Using FMT does not help either, a similar message is returned. When using RT-11, INI doesn't do anything, it just hangs.

John Wilson asked: >With what driver? Pre-V5.5 versions of RT-11 come with the "DP:" driver, but this doesn't do RM03's, just RP02's and RP03's. It wouldn't suprise me if it got confused when you hooked a RM03 (real or emulated) to a system and tried to access it with the "DP:" driver, but that's "operator error". There are several DECUS-distributed RM03 device drivers for RT-11, and there were also a couple of commercial ones sold by third parties in the 1980's. The most likely DECUS driver is library entry 11-517, "System Device Handler For RM02, RM03, RP04, RP05, RP06 and RT-11 V4". -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927

MicroPDP-11/73 Goes to Evil Lurker

by dhquebbeman＠theestopinalgroup.com

I guess that's probably an unfair remark, but someone who lurked on that auction until I went to sleep last night beat me by a dollar. I knew that could happen but I was hoping it wouldn't. Thus go the perils of bidding at auctions. So, I want to thank everyone for the very useful suggestions on transporting the unit. It would eventually have been fun to play with, even though my interest in DEC is pretty much limited to the DEC-10, and since DEC had enough trouble keeping them running, no way I'd try if I could even find one. Speaking of the DEC-10, Paul Allen was going to put a TOAD online running TOPS-10; does anyone know if that ever came about? -dq

Gee, I was going to offer Paul my copy of the DEC-10 Commands Manual (this is the heavier paper version, not the "phone book" styled pub) for perpetual access. Now I guess it's E-bay destined... -dq

Whatever happened to CHAC?

by CLASSICCMP＠trailing-edge.com

Whatever happened to CHAC (The Computer History Association of California)? I haven't heard anything from them, nor seen new issues of their journal, in several years now. -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927

I used to service them and when I sold the business about 20 years ago, I kept the manuals and the parts I carried in my vehicle. I know I still have things like vibrato scanner washers and mercotac's, etc. Dan
