Paul Koning set me straight on figuring out that DZ, as configured, was
actually working. Duh, press RETURN twice to get BAUD detected properly, then
all is right in the world. The other devices might work too, but since DZ
worked, I'm happy.
In late versions of RSTS/E, the following are supported: DL11 and equivalent,
DH11, DZ11 DHV11, DHU11.
DC-11 support existed in RSTS V4A, not sure about later. I don't remember that
DJ11 support was ever done. Also note that V4A supports only single line
interfaces (KL11, DL11, DC11, DL11-E); mux support arrived in RSTS/E V5A.
Originally you specified the terminal configuration with SYSGEN. As I
mentioned, that disappeared at a late stage; I believe in V9.0 but I may be off
a bit. If SYSGEN asks, you need to answer; if a particular version doesn't ask
about terminals, that means it has terminal autoconfiguration at boot time.
Something related: RSTS/E knows how to find devices at boot time and disables
anything configured that isn't actually present. That appeared in RSTS V5B.
Before that time, you had to be careful in SYSGEN *not* to specify non-existent
devices, because RSTS would try to reference them and crash.

Is there a noticeable advantage of one over the other in SimH of using
DL11, DH11, DZ11, DHV11 or DHU11?
Thanks,
Will
