What exactly do your "RX33's" do when you
try to access them?
They flicker briefly just prior to the machine complaining it can't boot.
I'm not sure I had them connected properly. I'll try the method Allison
suggested in a little bit.
What firmware revision is your RQDX3?
Well, the stickers are pretty hard to read, but if I'm looking at the right
two, they both say
LMB617 or LM8617
then one says 21725 or 217E5
I'm pretty sure the second says 216E5
If these aren't ROMs that support RX33's which ones should I be looking
for, there is a chance one of my other RQDX3's that I've got in my spares
will work.
To get RT-11 to deal with two DU controllers, you can
either:
1. Do a SYSGEN to create a DU handler that can handle more than one
DU controller. With recent enough RT-11's, the same handler
copes very nicely with multi-port booting.
OK, I'm crazy enough to be attempting my first SYSGEN at the moment
thankfully I've got a SMS-1000 (11/73) running the RT-11 already. My goal
is to get the 11/73 I've been working on in the BA-123 to boot RT-11 and
RSX-11M both, that way I only need one set up. BUT in order to do that
I've got to get RT-11 installed.
BTW the RT-11 RX-50 distro kit I've got is for V5.3
Look for the file MUB.COM on your distribution:
I checked, and don't have it. Guess that answers that question
