Just wanted to share some joy here: after a months-long spare time
restoration and debug process, the PDP-11/45 I've been working on booted
to the M9301 console emulator last night (pic at
http://fritzm.github.io/images/pdp11/m9301-running.jpg).
Made me super happy to see that register dump an the "$" prompt :-)
Next up will be using PDP11GUI to run more thorough diagnostics, then
I'll be moving on to storage (RK05)...
cheers,
--FritzM.

Fritz,
I have been wrestling with PDP11GUI and my 11/40....I have not had trouble
with the program, but I am weak on interpreting results of the tests. I
have finally made progress, but I would be interested if you posted results
of your testing using the M9301 and the PDPGUI. I have not yet been able
to boot my system with an RL02.

BTW - What kind of guitar is that? (in your profile

It was an 80's Japanese Fender p-bass, sadly no longer with me -- was
stolen from my car some time back :-(

Sure! I've also been blogging the project at
http://fritzm.github.io/category/pdp-11, and will continue to post notes
there as I go.

I'm familiar with that specific feeling ;) Congrats, wonderful machine!
I went with an RL02/RX02/CSIlinctape for mine. I saved the RK05 to go with the 8e :)
