I can do it if no one else volunteers
OK, you're on. It is a 5.25 " disk in RX50 format, RT-11 file
structure, and bootable on both PDP-11 and uVAX-II.
Really? I'd like to know how that was done as they are not the same.
You mean readable not bootable maybe?
I only did this on the uVAX-II, a LONG time ago, like
1986-88 or so, when I got rid of the MFM disks.
So, my memory ir really faded. But, I think there was a
console procedure where you entered a couple
lines of commands to read in certain blocks from the disk
and then run from some location, and
it would bring up the diag/utility from the floppy. I'm
pretty sure the procedure was in the manual,
which I think I sent to the guy who took the Andromeda
controller.
