Hi everybody
I'm the proud owner of a PDP11/05 system with a couple of 8" floppy
drives. I believe they are likely to be RX01s.
Does anybody on the list have some boot media that they could provide. I
understand that the controller can't format the disks so I'm in a
frustrating state where I don't know where to start.

Using an older version OS and PDPGUI send a tape image into RAM through the
serial port. Helps if you have a m9312 ROM board. You can make rx01 disks
using dunfield's disk utility (right?) I believe but I never actually did
this myself.

Yes, that's assuming you have a PC with an FDC capable of
writing/formatting FM floppies.

Or someone could lend you some floppies. I have an RX02 drive here I am
putting back together, right now I have it switched to emulate an RX01
with my RXV11 controller. I'll look through my floppies and see if I
have some RX01 disks I can load up with RT11.

Another option would be to use TU58em (a real serial port makes life
easier), and boot RT11 on the 11/05 with an image created under SimH. I
did that recently with an S100 PDP-11 board from s100computers.com and
got RT11 and diagnostics to run. (Long story, that.)
Then you could use that to set up an RT11 floppy on the 11/05.
RX01's are, IIRC, just standard IBM 3740 format, yes?

Since nobody has mentioned it in this thread already Dave Dunfield's
TestFDC is good for finding out if the FDC in a PC is capable.
Downloadable here: http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/img/index.htm
(Chuck knows this of course, but the OP might not)
HTH, HAND, stay safe.
