So you actually have a distribution of RT V02? I'd like to get a
copy from you for my archives.
Anyway, maybe what we need is a copy of the boot blocks for various
devices so that they can simply be layed down in the disk image
(using a very simple program) on block 0.
Actually, I think it might be a little difficult with a version
of RT that old, simply because the split between the monitor and
the device drivers had not yet been made, so you had to build a
monitor which included the devices you wanted it to have, and built
to boot using a specific handler. This was back in the days of
DXMNFB
and RKMNFB
which were the monitors for RT-11 FB on an RX01 and RT-11 FB on
an RK05, respectively.
