Hi List,
Following the wonderful advice so for, My shiny PDP 11/04 has now been
upgraded to a 11/34, and I have a temporary terminator pack for my RL01
disk drive.
I suspect that I have a system that is capable of booting. - Wo Hoo.
(read - the disks spin, and the fault light stays off.....)
My final problem (Dont hold me to that though) is that I while I have a
number of disk packs, I don't believe that I have anything to boot!!
The packs are not really usefully labeled.
Having trawled the list, I can find many many messages about archiving
data off RL disk packs, and onto archival systems (such as emulators,
etc) - bit I cant find anything about how to take a disk image, and put
it onto an real RL01 attached to real PDP11 where there is no other
media... I suspect that I have to load in a serial receiver program,
and dump an image - but the details are so far, sparse....
If somebody could provide some pointers - that would be awesome..... In
an ideal world, I would be able to get RSTS onto this system (I have
dual RL01's - so that may not work) - Alternately, just being able to
boot RT11 to load a Forth interpreter would also work. [Yes, this is
where I admit to being a Forth person - I hope people will still want to
talk to me having admitted that]
Thanks
Doug
