So has anyone used XXDP via the TU58 emulator? I
was looking at doing this
as I have two serial interfaces on my 11/34 and am still evaluating disk

I figure I might as well tool around with diags and get something done while
I'm shopping for disk-ness.
I do this all the time on my 11/34 and 11/44 ... I recently put up a web page:
http://www.ak6dn.com/PDP-11/TU58-images/
with my suite of bootable XXDPv25 TU-58 images. I haven't posted it yet,
but I also have a serial line TU-58 emulator (originally based on the Dan T'so
source, but it has now been massively rewritten). It works well with XXDP
and RT-11, and I have even put in hooks for it to pass the DEC TU-58
diagnostic ZTUUF0 TU58 Performance Exerciser. Right now it is in 'beta
test' mode so contact me directly if you want executable/sources.
Now that is seriously cool! This is just about the best use I've
heard of for a TU-58 emulator!
