I have my PDP 11/34 running smoothly with RSTS 9.2, on three RL02 drives.
I've got an RX02 floppy, and RSTS sees it, but at 9.0, RSTS dropped support
of floppies as file-structured devices. There are two utilities, called FIT
and FLINT that come as part of the distribution, but I've not been able to
find any documentation on these programs. Apparently they provide a means
to access floppies in a semi-file-structured method, as well as writing
floppies in RSTS or IBM formats. All I've been able to glean is looking
through the .TSK files with a file dumper, and looking at the text portions
of the images, but they aren't very informative.
Anyone got any docs on these two utilities?
