Sorry Paul, Comcast keeps bouncing email back from the dynamic IP Rsts.org
is sitting on.

Nice! I looked on rsts.org but didn't see an obvious link from the home

How far back do your RSTS kits go? I've built V4A from a kit I have, and I
found, somewhere, bootable images for V3A and V3C. Or at least V3C, I don't
remember if the V3A actually worked. Getting those started is tricky because
the procedure is different even from V4, and I haven't seen any manuals
anywhere. I finally puzzled it out from a pre V1 listing I have lying
around.
BTW, pre V9 passwords are 6 characters max, extra are ignored, so "demodemo"
is actual "demode". They are also case insensitive, ASCII letters/digits
only. Hashed passwords in V9 and up are 13 characters, any 8-bit code.

I built a V6C kit after Paul Nankervis fixed the INIT.SYS missing block.
A V7.0 kit, a V7.2 kit, a V8.0 kit and a V9.3 kit.

I need to build all the V9 kits and put them up but lots of work/family
drama here the last year has put me out of work and now without parents.
The kits all have your FORTH rts plus my 2 Custom rts for convenience.
Original tapes are here:
http://www.rsts.org/autoindex.php?dir=distros/RSTS_tapes/
Everything from V4A to V10.1 with the following missing:
Pre V4
V5*
V6A
V6B
V7.1
I tried to build all the kits and accounts to be the same, and since V9+
needed a longer password, I made the demo account: demodemo figuring most
would not realize pre V9 passwords were RAD50 6 character max.
