The Seattle Retro-Computing Society meets in Paul Allen's Living Computer
Museum the forth Saturday of the month.
(http://www.seattleretrocomputing.com ) We missed a couple of meetings
because the building was being remodeled. Work is starting on museum
exhibits for the general public. There is no announced opening date yet.
You can request a tour of the existing site on their web site.

I have posted some photos of the museum and our club meetings.

An imaged rl02 containing rt-11 5.7 distribution disk
generated a bit of an odd message after booting in in simh (v3.81).
It came with the following output :
sim> att rl0 rt11_V5.7.dsk
sim> boot rl0
RT-11FB V05.07
.TYPE V5USER.TXT
RT-11 V5.7
Installation of RT-11 Version 5.7 is complete and you are now running
RT-11 from your system volume.
Your system volume is your working volume if you have used the Automatic
Installation (AI) procedure. If you have installed RT-11 using that
procedure, Mentec recommends you verify the correct operation of your
system's software using the VERIFY verification procedure. You can only
perform VERIFY on the valid target (output) media you used for the AI
procedure. Run VERIFY before you run CONFIG. To run VERIFY, enter the
command:
IND VERIFY
You should read the file V5NOTE.TXT, which you can TYPE or PRINT. Also,
read the Introduction to RT-11, and the Installation Guide which
contain much of the information you need to use RT-11 Version 5.7.

Anybody have a suggestion about the last 2 error messages?
and can it be easily fixed in the simh code?

It's a mismatch between the driver and the device for revision level.
While it can be fixed in simh it could also be an OS issue.
Also the first message is -I- meaning informational, the second is a
-W- or warning suggesting there may be issues. there was no fail -F-
so it will operate but there may be issues around TK50 tape.

Thanks Allison & Others.
First of all I did not disable any device in simh, hence the message.
Of course, after disabling the unwanted drivers, it did not report
the message anymore. I'll have a look at the emulated code and add/change
the 'revision' levels.
