I have found some old RX50 disks from DecMate II's, and from MicroPDP11's. I have used putr to create images of these disks, which should be bootable, but havent been able to boot simh under either system.
The disks were created from a MSDOS system running putr using mount b: /foreign copy /device /file b: xxxx.dsk The pdp-11 disks appear to have valid text strings (Linus command 'strings xxxx.dsk' shows expected stuff), and the DecMate document disks can be exctracted using my dmprocess program. Does the pdp-8 simulator handle Decmate bootable system disks? I tried the DecMate WPS system disk, and an os278 disk.neither worked. What command/device to attach them to? The PDP-11 wouldn't boot the rt11 disks. Version of simh doesn't seem to matter. pb01x.dsk is a rt11 bottable disk (according to the label).
