RSTS / Simh disk drive confusion

Strange. Here goes: RC11 DC RF11 DF RS03/04 DS RK05 DK RK06/07 DM RL01/02 DL RP02/03 DP RM02/03/05/80, RP04/05/06/07 DB and DR MSCP DU MSCP appeared fairly late, V8.0 I think but I don't remember exactly. DB and DR both refer to Massbus moving head disks. Until V9.0, there were somewhat odd rules about mixing them on a single controller; the details should be in the book. Best rule for SIMH or E11 purposes is NOT to mix "RM" and "RP" drives on a single RH11/RH70. If you want both, put them on separate controllers. If you do that, then the RM drives will be called DR, and the RP04... drives will be DB. paul
