Does anyone
else have copies of the RSX-11 set of 2 CDs?
At one point the RSX, TOPS and
RT11 CDs
were all available as binary images. I know
I downloaded all of them and burned them to
CD with no problems. (Well, maybe a slight
issue with the RT11 one IIRC - I used W98
and whatever burning software I used
was not too happy verifying it ... seemed
usable though).
Jerome Fine replies:
Are you saying the actual CD image was available as
opposed to the many files that are on the CD?
Tim does not seem to have any problems
with people downloading large amounts
of data so rather than ask for a CD, just
burn one.

I have the RT-11 CD sent from Tim Shoppa, so I am
satisfied it is OK. BUT, I also want to burn my own
CD in the same manner. ALSO using Windows 98 (Yeck).
If anyone wants a copy, please ask!
The RT-11 Freeware CD is composed of somewhat less
than 212,992 sectors (of 2048 bytes each) which contain
about 403 MBytes (Windows 98 Explorer says 21,223 files
in 969 Directories using a total of 403,733,960 bytes)
all contained under (if I have been told correctly) the ISO
file structure for a CD.
Starting at sector 212,992 on the CD, there are 114,688
sectors which hold 7 RT-11 partitions of 33,554,432 bytes
each for a total of 234,881,024 bytes. These sectors
can be accessed only by software which understands
the RT-11 file structure, in particular programs such
as PUTR, VMS Exchange and of course RT-11 itself.
I can duplicate the above combination.
I can copy files to a CD into an ISO file structure.
I can also copy a file on the hard disk (which contains
RT-11 files under the RT-11 file structure) to either a CD-R
or a CD-RW starting at sector zero.
BUT, Can anyone help me? I want to copy that same file
to a CD-R or a CD-RW starting at sector 212,992 (just
like Tim Shoppa did) after I have written the files to the CD
under the ISO file structure. Of course, I want to be able
to do this under Windows 98!! Does anyone know if that is
even possible, let alone how it could be done?
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
