I spent the other day adjusting and getting my RX02's and the PDT11/150
working in tip top shape. They run fine, but I was wondering: I didn't
see the PD.SYS driver on my RT11 5.5 and 5.7 releases. Does anyone know
if Dec dropped support sometime after 5.1?

I was just reading the RT 11 5.7 documentation the other day and noticed the mention that
PDT-11s were desupported with that release. I think the follow up to that was that the
device drivers are still there, but no longer built for you. Maybe you could build it
yourself and be fine!

From the freshly installed RT-11 v5.7 disk image I have
available to me:
.type pd.mac
.MCALL .MODULE
.MODULE PD,VERSION=09,COMMENT=<PDT-11/130/150 Handler>,AUDIT=YES

So yes, to confirm what Jake says: the handler is included as source
only, you will need to compile and link it yourself to use it. (There
are several other drivers in a similar state, including the TU-58
driver and DECtape driver.)
