To connect another printer than the PXP40 you can use the enclosed cable
(see figure 4). The 3 pole round plug fits in the connection at the left
hand side of the PX1000. The three loose wires at the other end of the
cable should be connected to the printer according to the manual of it. The
three wires have the following function:
White (A) output to printer
Red (B) input for PX1000 and power
Screen (C) mass
The buttons LIST/PRINT, ON/STOP and the linebutton have the same function
as with the PXP40 when you use another printer.

Most printers with an RS232 or V24 are equipped with the here shown 25-pole
connector. Not all pins are connected. Most printers will work when you
connect them in the here shown manner.
White (A) pin 3
Red (B) pin 20
Screen (C) pin 7
Connect pins 4,5,6 and 8 of the 25 pole connector with a wire.

I have formatted a number of MFM ST506 drives (e.g. ST-225) with an RQDX3
on my Qbus PDP-11's. Be careful to set the drives on address 3. I used the
maintenance program ZRQCH0.BIC. This maintenace software is available on
floppy disk.
I boot a XXDP+ disk image from an emulated TU-58 on a PC running the
emulator program from Sytze Zijlstra This emulator is also very useful to
transport data between PC and PDP-11.

I thought the physical/virtual memory distinction in this case was more
of a PDP-11 processor concept than specifically RT-11.

It used to bend my brain around backwards until I worked with RT-11 for
a while. The problem is that the PDP-11 has mini-computer attributes,
but is only 16-bit. Let's try a cross-platform comparison... Machine A:
VAX running BSD. Machine B: PDP-11 running BSD. (Easy so far ;-) The
PDP-11 has 2Mb of physical memory; the VAX has 2Mb of physical memory.
Now comes the tricky part: the *virtual* address space for a program on
the VAX is 4Gb, 32 bits. Since well-behaved PDP-11 programs don't twiddle
memory management bits, the *virtual* address space for a program on the
PDP-11 is 64K (or perhaps 128K if split I&D). Because of the physical
nature of the beasts, the VAX has much more virtual address space than
physical memory, but the PDP-11 is the other way around.
It's just like Megan said, but I've added what might be a more familar
model for comparison. It made me woozy at first, too.

Yes. I developed zdungeon. It's a port to Inform directly from the
MDL Zork sources. I did not say in the above paragraph that I wrote Zork.
Perhaps that's the source of your ":-P"?

I never that that opportunity. When I was playing Infocom games on my C-64,
all I had was a 1541. :-(

You're welcome. I know someone took the zdungeon image and split it
onto two C= floppies, grabbed a Z5 interpreter and played it on their
C-64. *That's* dedication. Me, I developed it on an old SPARCstation
that's probably classic by now.

I recently inherited a Compaq C140 (Cassiopeia A11) and even though it's
not 10 years old, it's more obsolete than many 10 year old systems :-)
I'm looking for the WinCE 2 upgrade, I even have a part number (ZE20UK or
ZE21UK) but...
Anyway, so I downloaded dungeon (what zork was called before it
was split in three to fit on a ~100K floppy) and I saw a familiar
name - Thanks Ethan!

Wouldn't it be much easier just to modify the ADV11-A? Since the print set
shows it does use BBS7, and BC1 is simply grounded, it's apparently just a
case of cutting one track to make it work in a Q22 system.
