OK, last night I tried copying the damaged RL02's that contain what is supposed to be a RSX-11M v4.1 distribution. Unfortunatly two of the disks seem to be damaged. I was able to recover 3/4 of one, and boot it in the Supnik emulator, the other wouldn't even mount. Now, I've got a question about these packs, and thier labels. RSX-11M V4.1 | RSXM35 V1 | I was able to copy 8,638,976 bytes of RLUTIL V2 | 10,485,760. It will boot. Copied 06/19/84 | Fault light now comes on when try to load RSX-11M V4.1 EXCPRV V1 HLPDCL V2 Copied 06/19/84 RSX-11M V4.1 MCRSRC V1 Copied 06/19/84 RSX-11M V4.1 | ACSQ22 V1 | Fault light comes on when I try to load it. UPDATE V2 | ACS MODS V3 | Copied 06/19/84 rev 06/14/84 | Unfortuntaly I suspect that the first pack is the most important, and based on the SYSGEN documentation, I need the first three packs to do a SYSGEN. What on earth is the third pack? Also, is this the standard way for a RSX-11M distribution to be packaged? On a semi positive note, the drives (2 RL02, and 2 RL01) came with 2 RL02 packs and a RL01 pack in them. The two RL02's contain a bootable system that appears to have the Whitesmith C on it. I'm not sure about the RL01. I'm still hoping the Whitesmith C distribution on RL01 is OK. Once I've got archival copies made of all this I'll be more willing to play with the packs. On a positive note, I can play with the images in the emulator while copying them. I think I've still got over a dozen packs to go through. I'll probably finish the RL02's tonite. Zane | Zane H.
