Reading RX01/02 disks on a PC

So I'm in the process of pulling a bunch of files off of some RX02 disks to get them onto a PC. So far (thanks to help from Howard Harte) I've got an 11/44 with an RX02 drive running RSTS that has the DD module loaded. I'm running the serial tape drive simulator on a PC (I forget what it's called or who wrote it). So I can do: COPY DY1:*.* DD0: Which then copies all the files off of the disk into an image file on my PC. Works very nicely, albeit slowly (only 9600bps transfer rate). Is there a better way to do this? I've seen various postings of people getting RX02 drives connected to Linux boxen. How so? Has anyone done this? I also found this: http://www.chd.dyndns.org/rx02/ This is very cool. It's an RX02 simluator (hardware/software) that makes your PDP11 think your PC is an RX02 drive. It would be great if I could read the files from a real RX02 and then dump them into the emulated RX02. Can a PDP11 have two sets of RX02 drives installed at once? If so, do the second set of drives become DY2: and DY3:? -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
