Hi! Since I had to leave my 8/L behind for the next couple months I got myself a smaller toy for the meantime. It's a PDP-11/03 with LSI-11/2 CPU, 32k MOS memory and a DLV11-J serial interface card. It also had an EPROM-board and an unknown interface card (40-pin connector) by a company called "sprecher + schuh" but I removed those till I figure out what exactly they do. Some TU58 tapes came with the machine so I guess the EPROMs only contain some kind of bootloader and the main program came from the tape. I don't have the tape drive though. I made some adapter cables for the DLV11 and can talk to the ODT and execute small programs. To try something bigger I guess I can use VTserver. I don't have any tape-images to use with VTserver though. I found hints on the net saying it is possible to create xxdp and RT-11 tape images using simh or E11 or something like that. I didn't manage to do that myself though. I can boot both systems on the emulator but E11 crashes whenever I try to access the emulated DECtape II and simh doesn't seem to support it at all... Is there an idiot proof howto somewhere on the net that I missed? Could someone maybe send me some images to try? Is this the way to go at all or is there a better alternative to get software into the PDP? thanks in advance, Sebastian
