All ?
To close this out, I want to report that with Malcolm?s and Mattis? help, I was able to
get RT-11 v4 and v5.03 running on the H-11 using the TU58 emulator.
Avoiding the gory details, the upshot is that there was a bus interrupt issue relating to
how the cards were installed ? I had the slot numbering wrong so there was a gap between
two cards. RT-11 started booting and then barfed during the boot.
Once I moved the second SLU to the right position, RT-11 booted properly. So, now I have
both RT-11 v4 and v5 running on the H-11. Hooray!
Thanks to all who helped push me along on this. I did create a separate Heath page on my
Web site for it.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that you have a working system, will it be used to run any specific
programs? Based on your descriptions, the most important aspect of
the project was to get the H-11 system to run RT-11. What I am very
curious about is what do you will do with the system now that it is running?
From what you have stated, both stock versions of
RT-11, V04.00 and
V05.03, are being used rather than the Heath supplied versions of
RT-11.
Can you please confirm this assumption?
As for the interrupt problems, using an M9047 bus grant card would
probably also have solved the problem - if you have one.
At this point, do you have any other storage other than the emulated TU58?
If so, is it a Heath product or a real DEC product and which storage is it?
