I have been able to sysgen an RT-11 XM monitor with the idle loop light pattern enabled,
and install and boot it on my PDP-11/45. Here?s a video of the idle lights:

I built the latest simh and tu58em from source on my MacBook, then was able to do the
sysgen under simh, copy the resulting binaries onto a TU58 image using simh?s TDC device,
then use tu58em to copy the binaries over onto my working RT-11 4.00 distribution RK05
pack.
It was pretty fun to get all this working ? I had never seen RT-11's console light
pattern before!
