Subject: Re: PDP-11/73 booting!

I did try it without the NS memory board but that didn't work either. In fact, RT-11 seems happy with that board as it reports the correct total amount of memory (1.5mb). I have the single quad board RL01/02 controller. Here's the result of "SH DEV": ..SH DEV Device Status CSR Vector(s) ------ ------ --- --------- DY Resident 177170 264 LD Installed 000000 000 SL Installed 000000 000 VM Installed 177572 250 NL Installed 000000 000 DL Installed 174400 160 On Nov 15, 2005, at 11:03 PM, Allison wrote: >> >> Subject: Re: PDP-11/73 booting! >> From: David Betz <dbetz at xlisper.mv.com> >> Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2005 22:32:43 -0500 >> To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" >> <cctalk at classiccmp.org> >> >> Yes, you're right.
