Installation

A disk set is available from http://www.retro11.de/data/oc_w11/oskits/rsx11m-40_rkset.tgz

Download, unpack and copy the disk images (*.dsk), e.g.

       cd $RETROBASE/tools/oskit/rsx11m-40_rk
       rsx11m-40_rk_setup

Usage

• Start disk image in simulator

       pdp11 rsx11m-40_rk_boot.scmd
  

  or ONLY IF YOU HAVE A VALID LICENSE on w11a

       ti_w11 <opt> @rsx11m-40_rk_boot.tcl
  

  where <opt> is the proper option set for the board.

• Hit <ENTER> in the xterm window to connect to simh or backend server. The boot dialog in the console xterm window will look like (required input is in {..}, with {<CR>} denoting a carriage return:

         RSX-11M V4.0 BL32   1920.K MAPPED

  This os version was released in November 1981, so it's no suprise that it is not y2k ready. So enter a date before prior to 2000.

  Now you are at the MCR prompt and can exercise the system.

  You can also login on the 2nd DL11, possible accounts are

       >hel 1,1             ; password root
       >hel 200,201         ; password test
  

  At the end it is important to shutdown properly with a run $shutup. The simululaor (or the rlink backend) can be stopped when the CPU has halted.
