Installing an operating system on an 11/83

21 Feb 2022

There is. What's in my floppy pile here:

Micro RSX11 	4.0 9 floppies base
Micro RSTS	2.1 20 floppy disks
Ultrix 11	2.0 30 floppy disks

I think installing 30 floppy disks would be an exercise in insanity: 
That would probably wear down an RX50 drive to the nubbins.

I also seem to have PRO/RDT, Pro/Fortran, Pro/Cobol, Venix 1.0, P/OS 1.7 
and P/OS 2.0/Synergy. Man I have a lot of stuff here.

  Hi

 ? I have built an 11/83 in a BA23 box.

 ? It has a KDJ-11B, 2mB PMI memory, an RQDX3 with an RX50 attached,

 Plus a CMD CQD 220A Disk controller with a digital RH18A 2Gig SCSI 
 drive attached.

 Diag sees drive as RA82.

 It boots and runs the diag disk and XXDP+ just fine.

 I do not have install distributions for any of the 11/83 operating 
 systems.

 Daily driver system is a Windows 10 PC.

 So how do I install an operating system?

 Suggestions please.

 Thanks

  I have been doing a lot of digging.

 Its possible there was a MicroRSX on RX50

 I'm looking for images.
