I'm not sure what a DOS device is. A couple of options: 1. DECnet. NFT will use the DAP protocol to do file transfer; if you have a compatible DAP implementation at the other end that would work. DECnet/Linux can do this, I believe. 2. Paper tape, as discussed here. 3. Magtape. DOS format labels are very simple; ANSI isn't much harder. For extra credit, someone could write an implementation of VMS BACKUP -- RSTS can read those tapes (with some restrictions) in V9.0 or later. 4. Disk. Years ago I wrote a program "rstsflx" that can read and write RSTS disk images. It should still be around; if not I should build some new kits and supply them to whoever can offer a place for them. paul _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
