Bitsavers has some docs for ODT from contemporaneous versions of RSX-11, which have seemed close enough to get me going with some experimentation.

So, I don’t see a LOG$DK in my V06C RSTS.MAP (though I do have LOG$KB and LOG$TM).  PA returns “address above module bounds” when looking for it, which I assume means it searched without finding it.  Perhaps I missed a sysgen option for device logging or some such?  I’ll go back and take a look…

Thanks again for the help and tips!
