I'm trying to get one of my 11-23's going and
finally
got around to setting up a TU58 emulator. got it
to boot RT-11 and now trying to get a RX-02 working.
Are you booting RT11 off of the TU58 emulator? (if so, where did you get the
disk image?)
Is there some kind of compatibility issue that i do not know
about. Or do I have 6 dead drives.
The system is a Micro PDP 11, 8 slot Rack mount, with
1 M8189 11-23+
1 M8067 KB 256k Memory
1 M8639 YA MFM rx50 controller
1 M8029 RX-02 controller
- in this order.
Everything else seems to work. I added the floppy card
but the rest is original.
I would be tempted to try the machine without the RX50 controller - move the
RX02 up one slot.
There are a couple of XXDP images available on the web, so you could build
an XXDP test that will boot from the TU58 emulator, and test the RX02 that
way.
