Have never looked into XXDP.
What I have right now: a LSI-11 system booting RT-11 (v5.04) with Kermit on the attached
MSCP disk and an RX-01 controller (which works fine - I can boot the disk on the LSI
system after building it).
On the 11/34 target system all I have is the RX-01 controller so I have to build the
disk(s) on the LSI system, then move the cable to the 11/34 to try and boot it.
Can you point me to the run-down on building an XXDP disk?
Thanks

If I were you, my next step would be to run a full
battery of tests,
focusing on the CPU, via XXDP. Do you have the ability to make a
bootable XXDP disk?
