Yes, RSTS/E installs from TMSCP just fine (as can RSX-11/M+); I know
that in simh you can bring up Ultrix-11 3.1 only on TMSCP
(specifically a TK50), at least if you want all of the packages to
install. I've installed RSTS/E 10.1-L from MASSBUS, TS11, TM11, and
TMSCP in my various experimentation with emulation, it really doesn't
care what the tape is as long as your SYSGEN device is consistent.
Actually, RSTS/E have some issues with install if the tape isn't write
locked. I thought it was some combo/confusion between TK50 and TK70, but
it was the write lock issue that I sortof remembered...
