Not just unix, there's TU58.EXE for DOS out there

find it. I've got it running on my DOS computer (used for all sorts of
old MSDOS stuff) connected to my Micro 11/73. It allows me to ftp
tape images from any computer on the network and transfer them to/from the
PDP. The PDP, of course, just sees it as drive DD: as you'd expect.
Depending on the PDP OS you can fool it into seeing tapes bigger tha
256K which is useful. Works with RT-11v5 anyway.
I am absolutely AMAZED that it took this long for anyone to suggest this.
The PC-DOS based TU58 emulator works like a champ, and the PUTR program
for managing media images is an excellent companion.
Get everything you need here:
http://www.fpns.net/willy/pdp11/
The emulator executable is in:
http://www.fpns.net/willy/pdp11/rt11arc.exe
The documentation is here:
http://www.fpns.net/willy/pdp11/rt11arc.txt
Get PUTR (and it's documenation) here:
http://www.dbit.com/pub/putr/
And if you'd like to own putr.com, it's only $2,999:
http://putr.com/
Though I'm not sure why a stupid sounding URL would be useful to anyone at
any price.
Let me know if you need any assistance bringing this up.
