I've got a

Using that boot block, is it possible to boot the same RT11 disk on any of
the three?
Unfortunately not. They aren't RT-11 boot blocks, but my own little project
that loads a secondary boot which pulls a single .SAV file into memory and
starts it. (I was intentionally doing things differently to reduce the chances
that my code would just happen to come out looking like DEC's copyrighted
boot blocks.) But it'd be a fun project to try to hack it into an RT-style
boot block and combine it with a three-in-one driver for the system disk.
It's just so stupid that mostly identical disks may or may not boot...
