Hi
The topic says is all, can a PDP-11/23 (on a M8189 card) boot from MSCP devices?
My guess is that you need proper roms on your BDV11 ? Would these usually be included?
Certainly mine can (8189 with BH roms). Technically, it's an 11/23+, but the only
real difference from a /23 is the address lines (22 in the /23+).
Look for booting from DU (or MU if you're looking to boot from TMSCP). The boot table
on mine offers the following options:
DU DSA 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
DL RL01/RL02 0 1 2 3
DX RX01 0 1
DY RX02 0 1
DD TU58 0 1
XH QNA 0 1
MS TQK25/TS05 0
MU TK50 0
The KDF11-B CPU System Maintenance manual (EK-245AA-MG-001) indicates that all versions of
the ROM should be able to boot MSCP, if I'm reading it right. The BH revision adds
support for TK50 (thus, presumably, TMSCP).
