It is a dumb questions - my dumb answer is I certainly hope I did. I
will check the state of the switch the next time I am in front of the
box and if it's wrong, slap myself and start debugging from the top.

[W]H-27 problems...
I can get the system to read in the boot sector from the floppy,
but it hangs about the time RT-11 is running far enough to
turn the interrupts on.
Dumb question - you _do_ have the RX-01/Extended switch set to RX-01,
right? Extended mode isn't DEC compatible and the RT11
driver won't work
with it.
I had a vague idea that I didn't want the switch in the extended
(Heath) position, but I didn't know the specific consequences. I have
a hint of a dim memory that perhaps one could format blank media in
extended mode, but I wasn't trying to format, just to boot existing
RT-11 v4 floppies that work fine in a MINC-11.
