Hi All;
I have tried to do what SMP has done with No success.. Here is what I am doing from an earlier posting of His..
"""" I created an empty TU-58 file with an RT-11 directory using the TU-58 emulator:
> tu58em -i test.dsk
I then took the test.dsk file and put it in the same folder as PUTR. I also put in a copy of the full RT-11 install disk image as RT11INST.dsk.
I opened a DOS window in Windows, and navigated into the PUTR folder, and started PUTR.
Here are the PUTR commands I used:
Code:
> SET COPY BINARY
> MOUNT RL0: RT11INST.DSK /RL02 /RT11
> MOUNT DD0: TEST.DSK /TU58 /RT11
> COPY RL0:RT11SJ.SYS DD0:
> COPY RL0:DU.SYS DD0:
> COPY RL0:DD.SYS DD0:
> COPY RL0
IP.SYS DD0:
> COPY RL0:DUP.SYS DD0:
> COPY RL0:DIR.SYS DD0:
> COPY RL0:STARTS.SYS DD0:
> COPY RL0:FORMAT.SYS DD0:
> COPY RL0:SWAP.SYS DD0:
> BOOT DD0:
MONITOR FILE: RT11SJ.SYS
DEVICE HANDLER FILE: DD.SYS
> DISMOUNT DD0:
> DISMOUNT RL0:
> EXIT
I then put a copy of my test.dsk file and the rt11inst.dsk file into the folder along with the TU-58 emulator.
I started the TU-58 emulator with the command:
tu58em -r test.dsk -r rt11inst.dsk -v -d
so I could see all the action on the emulator laptop computer that is attached to my PDP-11/23 system.
I started up the PDP-11/23 system, as well as my SCSI drives, typed in the ODT info to boot (XXDP) from the SCSI disk (because it's only a few commands vs. the boot code for the TU-58 emulator) and got XXDP up and running on my PDP-11/23 system.
Then, I typed the command:
. BOOT DD0:
and when I hit return, I saw the TU-58 emulator come to life and start transmitting stuff to the PDP-11/23 system!
After a while, the TU-58 emulator stopped, and the PDP-11/23 console screen showed a complaint about a missing or improper TT.SYS file. And it was at the . prompt. Who knew? That file did not jump out at me as maybe being necessary in a tiny minimal RT-11 system.
I went back to PUTR, and I added the TT.SYS file into my test.dsk file.
On the next attempt to boot the PDP-11/23 system from the TU-58 emulator using my test.dsk file, I was greeted with:
. BOOT DD0:
RT-11SJ V05.03
""""
When I open Putr and try to do the same thing, it complains (1) that it "Isn't confirmed" and (2) no drive..
When I use Putr do I need the actual Drives like RL0 and DD0.. Or is it created like on my C: drive as a separate file or in Memory ??
THANK YOU Marty
