I believe XVM/RSX supports it as well (although it is dependent on
XVM/DOS for booting so the UC15 simulation will have to be working
with XVM/DOS first). Not sure whether the distribution that's
available includes enough to support it (since SIMH didn't support it
I didn't look at that part too
I suspect this might also be to the limited number of XVM15 systems
that were actually sold. I used one at Syracuse University in the early
80's. We had the PDP11 and it talked to the RK05 disk drive. I was told
that there was only about 20 XVM systems sold. We did not have any RP
drives on the
While I was digging deeper and deeper into the extent PDP-15 sources, I
found a tantalizing reference: "the RP03 is supported as an RP02." This
was the first time I'd seen any indication that the PDP-15's RP
controller supported the later, double-sized disk. The XVM/MUMPS sources

We have a bunch of documents related to PDP-15 and XVM/DOS. Some of them
does not appear to be present on bitsavers. If there are interest we will
try to make an effort and have them scanned.

I've pulled together the hardware pieces for the PDP-15/76 (PDP-15 with
UC15 PDP-11 IO processor), so now it's time to consider what software
can be run.
The most likely candidate is XVM/DOS-15. While vanilla DOS-15 had UC15
support at some point, neither a complete source kit nor the
