Woo hoo :-).
How would I go about creating a disk image of this for bitsavers?
I notice there aren't any RL01 disk images up there.
What nifty things can I tell about my RL01 drives with this pack?

What is on it? What hardware and operating system do you have to make a
disk image? I've always used VMS, but it can also be done on a PDP-11.

these drives so I do know what I'm doing.) The carrier contains a

a
disk image?
PDP-11/03, dual RL01s, RT-11.
I have no idea if RT-11 has a native utility that permits making a
disc image. I can imagine that I might have to write something that
grabs a block off the disc and transfers it to another computer Kermit
style across the console SLU.

I was going to comment on my inability to read subject lines, but this
sounds like something at least a little different from a standard XXDP pack
(maybe a specialized one?).

Brain freeze. What is the name of the program that allows
you to download disk images to a real 11 through the serial
port? Doesn't it also go the other direction?

I've been using it with linux and an 11/34. I've made a few mods which
I'm happy to share if anyone wants them.
I've also been happily using the tu58 emulator (both sides) with linux.
I should put them up on my web site.
