I think RT11V5 runs on any PDP-11, at least it runs on our 11/20 and
11/10.
Q2: Does Version 4 of RT-11 have the DU.SYS driver
allowing MSCP devices
to boot? This would make it possible for me to boot RT-11 v4 on my LSI
No.
My LSI system has RT-11 v5 on it already and has
kermit so I can
upload/download files that way. I figure if I upload RT-11 v3 to the
disk (or to a partition or whatever) I can use those files to make a
bootable RX-01 disk running v3.
Thoughts on that approach?
Why don't you just create a new "virgin" RT11 boot disk on your LSI?
E.g.:
.INIT DX0:
.COPY DL0:SWAP.SYS DX0:
.COPY DL0:RT11SJ.SYS DX0:
.COPY DL0:DX.SYS DX0:
.COPY DL0:DL.SYS DX0:
.COPY/BOOT:DX DL0:RT11SJ.SYS DX0:
and then try booting the disk on the other system.
Or did I miss the posting where you've already mentioned that procedure?
What happens if you try another monitor, e.g. RT11FB or RT11BL? It may be
possible that your version of RT11SJ has been SYSGENed for some options in
your LSI machine. Type SHOW CONF on your LSI and what for the version
string like "RT-11FB (S) V05.03"; the (S) indicates a SYSGENed monitor.
