I'm trying to find a manual detailing the operation of an RL02 under
OS/8. The Bitsavers archive only has manuals new enough through the
RL01.
Can someone point me to the proper documentation?
Meanwhile, although several years ago I did manage to build an OS/8
system with two RL02's on SIMH and transfer that disk image to an RL02
pack, and BUILD shows the appropriate device names, when the second
drive (1) is accessed, the data actually comes from the boot drive
(0). Just now getting around to playing with it again.
Version: OS/8 KBM V3T, CCL V3E.
The relevant portion of the BUILD printout: (I didn't have enough
handlers to add the "leftover" E drives anyway)
R2SY: *SYS R20A
RL20: *R2A0 *R2B0 *R2C0 *R2D0
RL21: *R2A1 *R2B1 *R2C1 *R2D1
DSK=RL20:R2A0
I can even unload the heads on Drive 1 and ask for a DIR of its
logical drives, and not only does OS/8 not hang or at least give a
"NOT FOUND" error, it gives me the data from the corresponding logical
drives on Drive 0! ASSigning DSK to the other drive doesn't make any
difference...
What am I doing wrong?
thanks
Charles
