Thank you very much. For future reference is there a simh to RSX (or any other OS for that matter) conversion chart for the various devices? It would be quite handy. Thanks again, Ray On Sun, May 7, 2017 at 3:26 PM, Johnny Billquist wrote: > On 2017-05-07 21:05, Ray Jewhurst wrote: > >> Hello

I tried running every size disk imaginable and I still get the same error and it still states 128KW. The small disk I tried was 159MB. BTW, that prebuilt system also had the same error and 128KW again and it was a approx 10MB Massbus disk running on a 11/45.Could this be a bug? I am following eve

Re: [Simh] Problems install RSX-11M+ v4.6

The 128k thing is physical memory, which is sonething else than size of the disk. There is an option in simh in the config to explicitly tell how large disk you want. Check the documentation. Use a disk of at least 1g, and we can move on to the next problem, which is going to be the number of

Already have it my plans. First before I do the netgen I want to familiarize myself with RSX better. On May 8, 2017 5:27 PM, "Johnny Billquist" wrote: On 2017-05-08 05:03, Ray Jewhurst wrote: > I wanted to thank everyone for all the advice my system is up and > running. Next up learning more a

Actually I was planning on reading all of the non-programming docs before I go any further. I know it's a daunting task but I am up to it. I know DCL but I don't know MCR. Even I am planning on using DCL I want to familiarize myself with MCR too for the whole experience. Ray On May 8, 2017 6:39 P
