Thanks Mattis. The system in question has 32kw of
memory and it does
pass the memory test.
I have not tried to boot the resulting DD image on SIMH but the
original RK image does boot.
I feel I'm close but I'm missing something. I may try 5.3 instead.
I've got various RX01, RX02, RL01 and RL02 disks with RT-11 v2, 4.0 and 5.2, 5.3, 5.4
and 5.7 and run them on real hardware. It's a long time since I've run v2, but
the rest all run on my 11/73 as far as I remember. It may depend on the exact config
(SYSGEN) but it certainly won't work unless you have exactly the right boot block on
the media.
