RT-11 V4 MU-BASIC help

[Sytse van Slooten]

I've used that image quite a bit for testing my vhdl pdp11. So it should work.

>From a quick test, it appears as if the lpt device in the default simh config 
conflicts. If I disable that, mubas works fine for me.

Like so:

sim> set cpu 11/45
sim> set lpt disable
sim> att rk0 rt11v4-mubasicv2.rk
sim> boot rk0

RT-11FB (S) V04.00E 

.SET TT QUIET
?KMON-W-No date
00:00:00
?KMON-F-Illegal device LP:

.R MUBAS

WARNING: DATE NOT SET


MU BASIC-11/RT-11 V2.00R
CONFIGURATION FILE : *1USER
MU BASIC-11/RT-11 IS OPERATIONAL.
PLEASE TYPE IN "HELLO".


Cheers,
Sytse
