This all looks fine but as you are using an old version of Simh you will need to add 'set rq1 rx33' to your ini file. The rq1 device will not automatically adjust to the size of the image like it does in newer versions. Also the CS device is called RX in the older version.
The set I had in my earlier experiment [1] (in Dutch, but the commands and output should be clear). This gives the same error. As said this was one of the experiments which at least showed something happening :-)
If you start from the heading 'Setting up the VAX-11/782' and ignore anything relating to the ma0 and ma1 devices then the instructions on my website should work just fine for a standard VAX-11/780 up to the point where is says 'The installation of VAX/VMS is now complete'.
Thanks for confirming. I indeed ignored all the ma0 and ma1 references. Unfortunately it didn't work. Someone suggested that I compile the newest version and that is my next experiment. I hope that it works, because compiling usually opens another can of worms :-)
