Yes, RSTS does support those. I don't know why Sysgen doesn't ask. It doesn't
ask about DECtape, either. Perhaps they are no longer officially supported,
but the software should be there and it should work.
After running sysgen but before running the resulting sysgen.com script, edit
config.mac. Look for the line that mentions PR11 and change the 0 to 1, then
the next line (PP11) also 0 change to 1. While you're there, if you want
DECtape, change TC11 (just above PR11) to be the number of DECtape drives.
Typically that's an even number because a TU56 has two DECtape drives in it.
