looking for a job, I've just put a fresh DOS installation on it, and
installed the emulator. I was making images and learning how to drive the
software. I'll take the machine to work with me tomorrow and hook it up to
the 11/23.
It helps to run it in debug level 2, -d2 on the command line where. It
gives nice feedback so you know things are working right.
Use the RTDSK utility (included in the RT11ARC.EXE self-extracting ZIP) to
create blank RT11 images. It's rather simple to use.
rtdsk disk_image_file [-i[<dev>]] [-s] [-f#] [-v{bdm}] [-{abdrx}filename]
So to create an RX02 image:
rtdsk img-name.dsk -iDY:
This will create an image file that is equivalent in the number of blocks
to an RX02 formatted floppy. You can also use DD:, DX:, DL: or DZ: for
respective image sizes. More information is available in the readme:

And then of course, also download PUTR.COM from bit.com to manipulate the
files inside the image:
