I'm trying to make up some TU-58 images with the needed
XXDP files. I'm new to both, so be kind.
I would think that i need to do the basic assign and mount
with e11 for the TU-58
assign TT1: DDA
Mount DDA0: 'file name'.dsk
E11 comes back with can't open file.
It will let me just mount it with out a file. but if
I'm going to write to it, I would guess there needs to
be a container file.
Thanks, Jerry

Am I reading this right? You're trying to mount a disk image as a tape?

A real DEC TU-58 may be a tape, but as far as E11 is concerned,
it is an image of a disk drive. I don't see any reason why any file
can't be MOUNTed for any device which handles blocks as a
portion of a disk image. I almost always use MSCP device drivers
under RT-11 under E11, so the size of the file can be anything which
the native operating system can handle. Under Windows 98SE, the
limit is (4 GB - one block), as far as I know. I have a number of 2 GB
files which hold 64 RT-11 partitions. For the TU-58 device driver,
I would imagine that the practical limit would be 32 MB.
