If I remember correctly if you have XXDP you can run indiviudal diags,
chain them, or build a DECX for a particulal configuration. XXDP,
depending on the version, came on 4 RK05 packs, two RL01 packs, or a
single RL02 pack. I don't recall seeing the entire distribution on
florries, but it was quite often copied to them and other small
devices for smaller systems.
The ZQMCxx and ZKMAxx if my memory is working right, are memory diags
that should run on any unibus system. There are different settings
for KT11, etc. Most would work on multible systems.
I have several packs, but not sure if i have one complete set of the
same version. What media would work best for you?

We are having an issue (a progressive issue, at that),
with the PDP-11/40
front end in our DECSYSTEM-2065. There are no diagnostics for the front
end on the diagnostics pack (KLAD), only a couple of programs for formatting
an RP06 disk pack. All other PDP-11 programs on the KLAD are tests for
the main processor's hardware prior to loading microcode and running PDP-10
programs to test it further.
The PDP-11 diagnostic suite, collectively called XXDP, comes in different
variants based on the actual processor (or processor family). We happen to
have a set of XXDP diskettes for the 11/34, but that chokes (as one might
imagine) on an 11/40.
So.
Does anyone on the list happen to have a copy of the 11/40 version of XXDP?
We would very much like to borrow and duplicate it if you are willing to
allow us to do so.
Thanks,
