I got two boards from John, they are GREAT. Much

I need to get several of those readymade for the 10-pin SLU ports...having
no luck making my own. The wires are just too small for me to work
without considering my eyesight.
Also, I can't get boot.dd to load. I can get the copy executable to
load...but not boot.dd. If I load boot.dd...I can load zrqch0 I _think_.
Alternatively, can anyone find XXDP for formatting drives for an RQDX3 as
a floppy image? I MIGHT be able to make floppy work.
I recently went through a similar exercise. I used PUTR to format an RX33
5.25" floppy and copy it to a file, then used simh to make a bootable
XXDP/ZQRCH0 image file, copied it back to the floppy with PUTR, and was then
able to boot the floppy on my 11/83 and format the RD54 on my RQDX3, mostly
as per instructions here:

If you or anyone else wants the XXDP/ZQRCH0 RX33 image file I'm using,
please let me know.
