I think it only supports one partition. Although a table lists the
sizes of all the drive options, the number of blocks just maxes out
at 65535.

I just looked at the code for DW.MAC and I am certain that you
are correct. There is no ability to look at blocks above block
number 65535. That is what the DU(X).SYS device driver can
do starting with V05.03 of RT-11.
Since there is
no documentation
on the PRO hardware, can anyone suggest anything?
The Pro Tech Manuals are on bitsavers.
Can anyone identify the actual files on bitsavers?

Those might not be what you are looking for though, no information
about the software is included.

Thank you. I will have a look. However, the
code for the DW.MAC device driver (the hard
drive on the PRO3xx system) is included in
the V05.03 distribution. There is no possibility
that the code can support RT-11 partitions
as with the DU(X).SYS device driver.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
