Hi,
I've finally got my TC08/TU56 passing the maindec diags now. I've also
tried to copy some TC08 bootable tape images to my drives. I can write
them, read them back and do a diff with no errors using resttc08/dumptc08.
However when I try to boot using one of these tapes several blocks are read
in and then the system crashes and burns with no console output.
As an experiment I'd like to see if I could format/read/write files from
OS/8 running on my RK05 but it seems like all the images I've looked at are
configured for a TD8E and don't have the TC08 driver on disk.
I'm not an OS/8 expert but I tried a build and when I typed (I'm going from
memory here):
IN TC08,DTA0
...I got a message like "HANDLER NOT FOUND" (or something to that effect).
Looking at the disk didn't reveal any TC08 drivers. The PRINT command did
show that it had been configured previously for TD8E support.
So how can I get the TC08 handler onto my RK05? Could I PIP this from the
serial connection somehow? Also, what is the correct way to do a build
with TC08 support?
Any thoughts/insight appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc
