What is the
"modern way" to get software into the PDP11?
I use a ZIP drive and a Qbus MSCP disc controller. A software-only solution (though much slower) is to
use the
TU58 simulation software that is around
This works, but indeed is slow. A little
faster would be doing
a VTserver install, but that requires fiddling with the OS to
make it "understand" the VT: tape drive. It would be good if
some of the RT, RSX and RSTS folks on here could do this (easy)
mod, and make a dist kit for the hobbyist community. Contact
me off-list if you're interested in doing so!
