 Hm, I've never tried RTE-M, although I have rev. 2140 on magtape.  **
Christian, thank you for taking the time to reply.    I'd like to ask 
you a question re your RTE-M off-list... would you kindly send me your 
email?    js at cimmeri.com     --   I tried your 
"cc at informatik.uni-stuttgart.de" address a few times but it bounces back.

  Instead, I prefer RTE-6/VM on the 1000F. I have a
setup with a 7905 
 (shared in a multi-cpu configuration with a HP 2100S), a 7970B, a 
 7970E, a 9122C, a 7958B (system disk), 2648 on a BACI and a terminal 
 server on all the ports of an 8-channel MUX. Lovely system, and very 
 different from most modern stuff.
 And the 2100S runs RTE-II from the fixed platter of the 7905. ** I am very
impressed with your collection.    How did you get a 9122C 
working?

  Simh has proved to be very useful especially when
generating a new 
 system.  ** Yes, it looks like we'll be forced to use SIMH to try to generate a

CS/80 compatible primary tape.
