I've played with RT11 on and off over the years, but the one thing I've
never been able to do is properly initialize an empty disk.  If I create a
DL2: for example, and try to run initialize on it, I get back:

 

.dir dl2:

?DIR-F-Error reading directory

 

.init dl2:

DL2:/Initialize; Are you sure? YES

?DUP-F-Size function failed

 

This seems similar to the issues Henk Gooijen has been having with RK05's,
and it's been so long since I've dealt with the real hardware I don't recall
exactly how this is supposed to work, but it seems to me it should just
"work".

 

Has anyone found a solution to this?
