So this brings up another question: I've
noticed that I don't
explicitly need to LOAD device drivers for the devices I want
to use when I boot RT-11. In particular, I don't need to
LOAD DD when I want to use the TU58 simulator. Are they
found and loaded automatically when the OS boots, or...?
From what I remember you can build the sysgen with the drivers you know will
be there at boot time but could still load them yourself afterwards if
needed. Must drag the micro73 down here this week and see if my RL02s are
playing nice.....
But I never did a sysgen, assuming that is an actual process. I just
formatted/initialized my disk, issued the right COPY commands to copy over
system files and boot monitors, etc. When I boot with that disk the DD
drivers are already loaded.
