That sounds right.
Thanks to some pointers from B.M. I got closer to a valid V4A build. I?ll poke a bit
further. If the build is successful, the next step will be trying to boot it on a SIMH
11/03.

Considering the fact that the DLV11-J just implements 4 distinct DL
devices, I can't imagine why not. It's not like the DZ interfaces,
which had more centralized control. RSTS/11 runs on 16 bit (no MMU) PDP-11 Unibus
machines. For example, it works on an 11/20. I suppose it could be ported to an 11/03 if
you had the source code (and a DOS system on which to build it). But I don?t believe it
would run as-is. There?s also the issue of terminal interfaces: RSTS/11 only supports DL
interfaces (single line interfaces). And only old small disk drives (RC, RF, RK,
RP02/03). And it?s Basic-Plus only, no other languages.
Would that include the DLV11J or just (a bunch of) DLV11-E? Sounds
like the RKV11 is in play then.
