So you boot the system in RT-11 and then start TSX? Thanks! I'll try
that. Do you know where I can find a description of TSX?

unable to fix my RL01 cable. I tried a few approaches to
reconnect the pins I could see were disconnected and wasn't able
to get it to work. However, the good news is that I was able to
acquire another cable and that fixed the problem entirely. In
fact, the PDP-11/73 booted off the RL01 pack the first time I
powered it up. I have three packs and was able to read all of
them. One contains RT-11 V5.5, another is a TSX-Plus system disk
but appears just to boot RT-11SJ. It does have lots of files on
it with ".tsx" extensions but doesn't seem to boot TSX. The third
is a blank scratch pack.
You need to actually run TSX. The bit you want it TSX.SAV iirc.
