Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
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?
Nothing specific in mind right now. I have BASIC but I want to get Fortran installed so I
can run Adventure. This is all for fun rather than a specific application.
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?
Correct, both from SIMH. Stock version of v4 in an RK format with DD as the boot device.
Right now I only have a simple v5.03 in tape format from Malcolm and not in RK or RL
formats.
As for the interrupt problems, using an M9047 bus
grant card would
probably also have solved the problem - if you have one.
I don't have one but now that I know how the slots are numbered I should be ok.
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?
I don't have any other storage media at this point, DEC or Heath. I believe Heath only
produced a floppy system for it. I don't have any Heath-specific software packages.
Space in the shop is at a premium so I'm glad that I have the TU58 emulator.
