This is a good question but I do not know the answer.

I SYSGENed the 4.8 image on simh, and
transferred ICP.TSK, just to do
another try...
The newly inserted task, showed the same parameters, using TAL ...AT.,
but issuing a @command causes the same big crash, dropping me on the
initial ODT monitor.
I did another test, with DMP.
Only three blocks of the original ICP.TSK are unreadable:
o73, o107, and o177 (all numbers are in octal), with the usuale I/O
error -101, and no mention in ELI DU0:/SH
I'm angry: the damaged ICP.TSK is TCP.TSK;3 and I did a purge to make
room on the disk the first day I got it. Can't remember if another
version was present...
I've a couple of questions:
1)VFY gives me two error I can't clearly understand.
000541,000226 owner [1,54]
file is marked for delete
000647,000000
I/O error reading file header -101
How can I associate xxxxxx,yyyyyy to a file name?
I tried PIP /FI:xxxxxx:yyyyyy/LI with no luck Hmmm.... RSX-11Mplus 4.2 aren't recognized as
TSK images by "normal" 4.2
Well... the files have been correctly
transferred... i did a DMP on both
sides
so definitely I need a 4.2 non plus.
2) the .tpc images found in the net, if converted to .tap, are suitable
for use in TU85em? Having no tape unit, I could try to install
everything from scratch using a tape emulator.
I would use Simh to boot a BRUSYS
tape then copy the tapes to make a
bootable disk.
But the best would be to have 4.2 (*not* plus) tape images or someone
with a running installation so kind to give me the four damaged files.
VFY seems not to be able to repair the FS...
Thanks
The closest RSX11M (not Plus) distribution I can find is an RL01 distribution of RSX11M
V4.1
Since it is disk and not tape it can be directly booted with Simh and it does have a
ICP.TSK
that should be pretty compatible with V4.2 since it is from V4.1 Baseline.
You can find this RSX11M V4.1 distribution at:
ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/rsxdists/rsx11mplus_4_0_netkit_aq-ew97b-bc.…
It will unzip into 6 RL01 disk images and 3 update E disk images.
Below I mapped the first two disks and found a copy of ICP.TSK
on the 1 disk which is a Baseline image that should run on a range
of different hardware.

Total of 260./260. blocks in 3. files
from the RL01 image you should be able to PUTR read and
then write to an RX50
as you have done before.
Good Luck,
