Ten (10) years later. ;-) Sorry, too much VAX 8200 posting, thought I would put up a new (old) topic. Bob, I used Thord's patch on three (3) PreBuilt kits that I hung on Rsts.org. Anyone interested in a PreBuilt RSTS Kit can go grab a zip file, start simh and be up and running in a few seconds. I also merged some of my V4A paper tape distro with some of the DecTape distro on BitSavers and got a valid sysgen of V4A going.
http://www.rsts.org/autoindex.php?dir=distros/Rsts_kits/ RSTS V7.0 (Thord Date Patch, Paul FIG-Forth RTS, My Custom,Notes RTS). RSTS V7.2 (Thord Date Patch, Paul FIG-Forth RTS, My Custom,Notes RTS). RSTS V8.0 (Thord Date Patch, Paul FIG-Forth RTS, My Custom,Notes RTS). Minimum installs (Just enough to be comfy, but full distro via tape). Guess I like to run RSTS in QRP mode. ;-) Anyone wanting to just drive through history without pulling down a kit can telnet to running copies of the same kits that are running here: Telnet www.Rsts.org Port 81 Rsts V4A Telnet www.Rsts.org Port 82 Rsts V4B Telnet www.Rsts.org Port 83 Rsts V7.0 Telnet www.Rsts.org Port 84 Rsts V7.2 Telnet www.Rsts.org Port 85 Rsts V8.0 All systems have the same accounts, User: 100,100 Password: DEMO is open to the public. When I get some time next month, I will try to put up some V9+ kits. 73s, Brett On Tue, 11 Mar 2008, Robert G. Schaffrath wrote:
Just as an FYI for those running RSTS/E V9.6 or planning to, I created a patch several years ago to support Y2K+ dates based on Thord Nilson's V9.2 patch. I am posting it here and it can also be found by doing a groups.google.com search for "date96.cmd". Robert -- Begin -- ! DATE96.CMD - INIT.SYS patch for Y2K.
