I have a bunch of 11/34, 11/44, and common peripheral TU-58 XXDPv25
bootable diagnostics tape images that I have generated using the XXDPv25
RL02 disk as a source, and the 'diagdir' program to extract/build the
image files. I put them online at:
http://www.ak6dn.com/PDP-11/TU58-images/
I also have a TU-58 serial line emulator that runs on Windows (native or
CYGWIN). It started out based on the original Dan T'so emulator source,
but now has been almost completely rewritten to make it work reliably.
Contact me directly if you want to be a 'beta tester'.

Okay, the last step was entirely ignorance on my part, as a timely
call from Paul Anderson this afternoon pointed out my folly:
I didn't know that the CPU was supposed to come up in a RUN mode - I
thought you had to start it.
He had me halt and start the CPU and run a branch-self, it just looped
like it was supposed to.
I now get the console, emulator, so a running OS isn't far off. I've
got two SLUs - anyone know if there's TU58 diag images around? :)
*sigh*
If there's any hobby where ignorance isn't bliss, it's this one.
Thanks again to everyone who assisted!
