Sorry Trevor,
We have had cold snow storms on and off all week. This morning the power
was out for 3 hours, so yeah, the UPS's don't last that long and things
have been up and down all week (also I transposed an IP address on a dns
change when I brought stuff back up). Rsts.org should be up and running
now.

Thanks Paul. Now you mention it, I do have a vague recollection of doing
Sysgens when adding new hardware back in V6/V7 days. I'll look around for a
later version to
run and see if that fixes things, and/or try generating my own system.

RSTS/E (starting with V6B, that is) recognizes devices based on their CSR
address, fixed or float. It doesn't care about vector rules (except for the
card
reader); instead, it probes the device to find out. So you need to make
sure a device is assigned the proper CSR address by the rules and then RSTS will
know it. You can confirm by doing "hardware list".
In the example shown, you can see that indeed RSTS recognized the additional DL
lines.
However.... Prior to V9 or thereabouts (I'd have to search a bit to be more
precise), RSTS/E device support including terminal interface support was set at
Sysgen. You could omit controllers that aren't in the build and those would be
disabled, but if you include devices not mentioned in the Sysgen they would be
silently ignored by RSTS. Note that INIT (which is what does the hardware
display) knows about all supported devices; the fact that a particular RSTS
monitor
doesn't include the support doesn't bother it.
So the fact that added terminal lines don't work suggests that they weren't in
the sysgen. If there is a config.mac somewhere on the system that might be the
one
from the sysgen and would tell you what's supported. Also, sufficiently new RSTS systems
have a DCL command "show device" which says what devices the monitor
knows about.

In RSTS/E, you have DZ11 lines, but they are configured for a CSR of 160100 and
160110, and vectors are 400 and 410. I bet that does not match what simh
thinks...

I'm using "PDP-11 simulator V4.0-0 Current", and getting the same results

I'm booting the full RSTS V7.0-07 disk, built by by Chuck Cranor. This
boots fine, and I can log in on the simulated console. However, I can't
persuade it to recognise any additional terminals. If I use:
set dli enable
set dli lines=8
attach dli 10001
Then I get a telnet server appearing on port 10001, which prints "Connected to
the PDP-11 simulator DLI device, line 0" when I boot the RSTS
system disk. However, there's no response to any input once RSTS is up
and running. I've also tried using a DZ11
set dz lines=8
attach dz 10002
and in that case I don't even get the "Connected...." line from simh.
RSTS can apparently see the hardware though:

If I boot an RSX-11M disk, then additional terminal interfaces seem to
work fine, so the problem seems specific to RSTS. I saw references in
the list archive to other pre-built systems on www.rsts.org
<http://www.rsts.org> but that doesn't seem to be available at the moment, so I
can't try another build right now.
Any clues on what I'm missing ?
Thanks,
Trevor
