Are you using the full $$$ version of E11, or the demo version? I was going to experiment with multiple TMSCP controllers using SIMH, only to realize that while it is built to support up to 4 MSCP controllers, it is only built to support a single TMSCP controller. Then I thought I would try E11 as I assumed it must support multiple TMSCP controllers if you were trying it there. Gave it a try just now with the demo version of E11 V7.3 only to realize that the demo version supports only one of each disk/tape controller type. If you are also using the demo version of E11 instead of the full $$$ version then that would be a problem trying to experiment with 2.11BSD support of multiple TMSCP controllers. The only way I could try experimenting with 2.11BSD support for multiple TMSCP controllers is with real hardware (unless I went down the path of trying to figure out how to rebuild SIMH to support multiple TMSCP controllers, has anyone already done that?)
