John  or anyone...regarding this:

I have made the bootable RL01 image and it works in simH.  I have
BB-L974F-BC_RSX11M_4.5_BRU64K.tap in place but what kind of tape device do
I set in simH to attach it?  I need to attach prior to booting and the
within RSX11/M

I have named the blank RL02 rlRSX11M.dsk

Almost there!
