Ok. That's may be big enough without volume switching, but in any case, if it speaks

TU58, no -- that's not a file structured device on RSTS. RX33 is an RX50 in a
different physical package if I remember -- 800 block MSCP device. That works fine,
subject to the necessary tricks to get the files on the floppies and do the switching.
No, RX50 was a strange DEC format. RX33 is a 1.2M floppy. ...
You mean build an initial system on a small disk, and then load the rest onto a big disk
some other way? Sure, that should work fine.
I was thinking build a minimal system on a smaller disk and
and then use it and backup to move the RA81 system to real
hardware and then use that for playing with.
