Hello Folks,
As i've posted here, I'm making progress getting my PDP-11/53 running and I've now got it booting off its SCSI hard drive and I have generated a system that is pretty closely reflects its hardware.
My problem is how to get more things onto it. I know it sounds easy but I'm struggling a bit here and would welcome some advice.
So far all of the MSCP/RSX images have been from various websites. I haven't had to build one from stratch but in order to get new stuff on, I'm trying to build images using put, simh and/or E11.
My plan was to format a disk image, initialise it and use putr to copy the files I want across to it. I was then going to burn it to CD and mount if on my real PDP.
However... I can format a new MSCP image using putr but I can't init, it won't do it, or get my files across.
Can anyone suggest a way around this please? I don't have networking going yet or an RX50, just a CD-ROM and HD
Thanks,
Andy.
