Christos,
I would like to do a bad sector scan on a RD52
connected to a RQDX1
controller (The machine is a pdp11/73 without OS) prior to installing
BSD2.11.Is there a standalone program like zrqch0(standalone
version of zrqc from the xxdp package - only for RQDX3) that can be
downloaded directly to the pdp via vtserver and recognizes the RQDX1,
i.e. a version of zrqb or something similar?
In "XXDP V2.5 Notes" (http://www.chd.dyndns.org/pdp11/xxdp25.notes.txt)
I read the following:
ZRQA RQDX or RUX50 RD/RX EXERCISER
ZRQB RD51/52 DISK FORMATTER RQDX1 DISK DRIVE SUBSYSTEM
ZRQC Formattable Winchester (RDnn) or Floppy (RX33) Drives RQDX3 Disk Formatter Utility
ZRQD RQDX or RUX50 RD/RX EXERCISER
ZRQE RQDX3 EXERCISER
ZRQF RQDX3 RX33 Format Utility
ZRQG RQDXn RD/RX Disk Summary Diagnostic
Now, although my knowledge of XXDP is minimal, the above would make me
believe that ZQRB works with the RQDX1 (only), and that the ZQRC is the
one that only works on the RQDX3.
Anyone know more about this?
