Is there a way to do this? Or perhaps a driver in RT-11 that I could point
to an entire drive? If not, maybe I could write one with some community
guidance?
Would be a splendid way to write real media, or in my case, read the
hundreds of 8" floppies I have sitting on the shelf here for archive.
thx

What about COPY/DEVICE/FILE DUx: SAMPLE.DSK to get a device into a file
then kermit it to somewhere else?
Or a I missing the point?
cheers,

I really did want to do that, but the target hardware is PDT-11/150, my
only system with working 8" floppies, and it can't support a big disk
(though it just occurred to me I could probably fake similar situation with
a TU-58 emulator and new sysgen!).
If I can get one of my bigger PDP-11s the ability to talk to floppies, then
sure. Been trying, but don't know if that'll ever happen with things going
the way they are :\
Actually this TU-58 emulator idea is starting to seem like a fun stunt..
Three serial ports on these PDT-11/150s, plus modem and console, so I could
have lots of "larger," if slow (I think 2400 is the limit), storage devices
on the ol' gal.
Thanks for making me think, Nigel!
