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.
Wow, thanks, learning more and more with each passing day about this
nifty os. The option is there if I run sysgen after I've installed the
system and I don't mind editing the config.mac file at all. Is it
possible to edit the file while the sysgen monitor is running, during
the install, before it builds? As far as I can tell, there is not a
chance to customize the install outside of the dialogues, while it's
running.
I'm not that familiar with RSTS, but in unix, I could background the
installer, make my edits, pull the installer back into the foreground
and continue.
Thanks,
Will
