Could you please tell me that how can I tranfer the
files from Winchester Disk having RSX-11/PDP format
into a PC having Win NT operating system.
PLUS, you did not say if you have a complete PDP-11 or
just
the RL02 or other disk drive and maybe just the media. If you
have just a SCSI disk drive, that is actually an easy solution.
I'm betting that the "Winchester" means the drive is one of the MFM
drives, such as the RD-54, etc. I'm also betting, based on the wording
of the question (he asks how to xfer the file from disk itself instead
of the system), that Kishore does not have access to a working PDP-11.
So, Probably the only viable option would be to send the drive to
someone who does have a working system with the appropriate controller
and get them to transfer the files to a CDROM, etc.
I'm sure there are many on the list (including me) who would be willing
to do this, provided we had the right controller. I guess what we
really need to know is the model number of the disk itself.
