we will be watching this thread but please CC us on any discussing on this
as we will soon be firing up our H 11... and yea it has the heath
drives... I thought I saw some copies of rt 11 that were in the boxes that
did not look heathkit specific but do not know if the guy ever got them
running.

Subject: Booting real RT11 on a Heath H-11
I have a Heath H11A (LSI-11/2 CPU!) with the Heath WH-27 floppy
diskette drives. It boots and runs HT11 (Heath's crippled version of
RT11) just fine, but when I try to boot a real RT-11 v5 RX01 diskette it
just halts. I thought that the WH-27 was RX01 compatible. Am I wrong,
or is there some trick that Heath put in (maybe in the WH-27 boot ROMs?)
to keep it from working?
Thanks much,
Bob Armstrong
