Re: RL02 to PC image

I thought about doing this with an FTDI FT245, which is a parallel to USB FIFO device that looks like a USB serial port to the USB-side host. USB protocol will manage all the “flow control” and so the PDP can write to it as fast as it can. We did a similar thing on Heathkit H89 and H8

Re: RL02 to PC image

vtserver does indeed work for transferring RL02 contents to a binary image, suitable for use with SIMH or E11 or whatever. Be advised, it takes a *long* time, even on a 11/73 with the serial port turned up to 38400 bps. Thanks, Jonathan On Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 9:15 AM, Ethan Dicks via cctalk <

Is the CHM in Mountain View aware of these? So awesome... unfortunately I'm in a 2BR in NYC, also I only have 1 phase 120v, also wooden flooring, also no A/C, also zero practical use for it but when has that stopped us? =P On Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 8:20 AM Noel Chiappa via cctalk <

Re: RL02 to PC image

This would be the Right Way. I've got my PDP-11/73 set up for that, I still need to build the kernel driver for the Ethernet interface and get TCP/IP going. I have dozens of RX02 floppies to work through, much faster than serial, and the vtserver `rx` driver has a bug in it anyway where it

Re: RL02 to PC image

It's on my list of things to do -- you can run external clock into DL11 and DLV11-J style connectors, and IM6402 UARTs are supposed to go up to 2 mbit, so somewhere between 38400 and 2 mbit should be possible. I believe it'll require external RS-232 transceivers due to the design of the ones used
