I shall echo the sentiments of others; thanks for releasing this!

So - same as before. Disk image and tape image are available at

Johnny, you mentioned you're running under E11. Has anyone tried it under
SimH yet? I put together an 11/70 1MB system under the PDP-11 emulator
(built with Ethernet support under OS X 10.9) and have installed
RSX-11M-PLUS 4.6. When I was installing, SYSGEN reported 512k of RAM
instead of 1M, which alarmed me. I went into manual mode and told it
explicitly 1M. That's been my only hiccup so far, and that's about where
I'm at. If anyone has any suggestions for a newcomer to RSX, I'd certainly
appreciate it. I'd be more than willing to write up a tutorial if someone
can help me the rest of the way.

Thanks,

Kyle
