Installation

A disk set is available from http://www.retro11.de/data/oc_w11/oskits/rt11-53_rlset.tgz

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

       cd $RETROBASE/tools/oskit/rt11-53_rl
       rt11-53_rl_setup

Usage

• Start disk image in simulator

       pdp11 rt11-53_rl_boot.scmd
  

  or ONLY IF YOU HAVE A VALID LICENSE on w11a

       ti_w11 <opt> @rt11-53_rl_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:

  
    RT-11FB  V05.03  
  
    .TYPE V5USER.TXT
  
                                  RT-11 V5.3
  
           Installation of RT-11 Version 5.3 is complete and you are now
        executing from the working volume    (provided you have used the
        automatic installation procedure). DIGITAL recommends you verify
        the correct  operation  of  your  system's  software  using  the
        verification procedure.  To do this, enter the command:
  
                                 IND VERIFY
  
            Note that VERIFY should be performed  only after the distri-
        bution media have been backed up.  This was accomplished as part
        of automatic installation on  all  RL02,  RX02,  TK50, and  RX50
        based systems,   including the  MicroPDP-11 and the Professional
        300.  If you have not completed automatic installation, you must
        perform a manual backup before using VERIFY.  Note also,  VERIFY
        is NOT supported on RX01 diskettes,    DECtape I or II,   or the
        Professional 325.
  
        DIGITAL also  recommends  you  read  the  file V5NOTE.TXT, which
        contains information  formalized too late to be included  in the
        Release Notes.  V5NOTE.TXT can be TYPED or PRINTED.
  
        .
  

  Now you are at the RT-11 prompt and can exercise the system.

  There is no halt or shutdown command, just terminate the simulator or backend server session.
