There's only one DMR11 and one DMC11 configured. When you boot up, you'll see:

Hi Christian,
Thanks for the image and config.
I don't see the " XM4: is missing ECO's, but will still function." Messages...
Can you explain?
Thanks.

Very cool! Thank you very much, Johnny(s)!

Forgot to mention: The password for account [1,2] is "operator"; the
account [1,4] is also created, using [1,2] as a template; it also has
the password "operator".
And just for clarity's sake: The system has the DECnet address of
11.94, and node name of RSTS10. It knows of two other systems (provi

I've setup a small RSTS/E 10.1-L system with DECnet; it's kitted out
with a DELUA, DMR11, and a DMC11.

(Being the other Johnny here, but anyway...)
What Bygg appear to be doing is implementing ANF-10 (or at least the
simulated physical links over which ANF-10 can communicate).
Now, ANF-10 was a network protocol used on some machines way back. I
mostly used it on TOPS-10, but I don't know if so
Johnny,
If it's not too much trouble, would you mind going into a little more
detail for the "noobs" following along out here?
I'm not _100%_ ignorant .. I was a UNIX admin for 15 years, I have a
real VAX (3900) in the garage and fooled around with VMS on it. I've
had VMS running in cluster mode

The DMR had a switch-selectable DMC compatibility mode. Not sure if that's

It looks like the problems RSTS is having with DMC/DMR is due to unexpected
behavior of the master clear bit. It's documented as self-clearing, so the
driver sets it and then subsequently assumes it will read as cleared. That
isn't actually happening correctly, at least not if two accesses are
Status update for my little hobby project:
I just gave the following command:

NodeLOKE(4) 1
NodeVENUS (10)1
This might look innocent, but:
