I forgot to mention that, because of the "under Windows" capability,
I prefer Don's TU58 simulator. And I also forgot to mention the great
help I got from Don, while trying to get it working! His help was so
good that the TU58 simulator *should* have worked. I moved on, to return
to it later, after my view was cleared. I guess, now is the time :-)
I know, if you spend too much time too long on a problem, you develop
a kind of blindness to solve the problem. Leaving and returning later
often helps ...

I love to hear when you have the TU58 working, Julian.
I helped Jim getting that working, but I have spent quite a few
evenings trying to get that working here myself! It still isn't :-(
I moved on to do something else, but will give it a new fresh start
within a week or so. Dan's TU58 is DOS only, the TU58 simulator
from Don will wotk in a "DOS"box in Windows.
Check my website for the configuration of the DL11-W for use with the TU58.
(
www.pdp-11.nl/peripherals/comm/interface/dl11w-info.html ).
A long URL, but it is in the "peripherals" folder.

I have a bunch of 11/34, 11/44, and common peripheral TU-58 XXDPv25
bootable diagnostics tape images that I have generated using the XXDPv25
RL02 disk as a source, and the 'diagdir' program to extract/build the
image files. I put them online at:
http://www.ak6dn.com/PDP-11/TU58-images/ <http://www.ak6dn.com/PDP-11/TU58-images/>
<http://www.ak6dn.com/PDP-11/TU58-images/
<http://www.ak6dn.com/PDP-11/TU58-images/> >
I also have a TU-58 serial line emulator that runs on Windows (native or
CYGWIN). It started out based on the original Dan T'so emulator source,
but now has been almost completely rewritten to make it work reliably.
Contact me directly if you want to be a 'beta tester'.

Well, thanks to persistance, patience, and people on

Okay, the last step was entirely ignorance on my part, as a timely
call from Paul Anderson this afternoon pointed out my folly:
I didn't know that the CPU was supposed to come up in a RUN mode - I
thought you had to start it.
He had me halt and start the CPU and run a branch-self, it just looped
like it was supposed to.
I now get the console, emulator, so a running OS isn't far off. I've
got two SLUs - anyone know if there's TU58 diag images around? :)
*sigh*
If there's any hobby where ignorance isn't bliss, it's this one.
Thanks again to everyone who assisted!
