A friend came across a DECMATE I and we have been
playing with the
beast, but are unable to figure out how to get a system loaded
without the necessary floppies for the RX02. It talks nicely to my
VAXStation 3540 as a VT100 (DP278A option), but it looks only like a
terminal.
I've Googled DECMATE and am totally FAQed up with the history and
long lists of software with little in the way of description. Is
there any runes to cast or incantations to key in so that we might be
able to load in a system over the RS232?
I have a working OS/8 system that can make an RX01 or RX02 floppy, if
you have a "dumprest" compatible image you want to make them from.
