Notes on oskit: RSX-11M V3.1 system on RK05 volumes

  Table of content:

    1.  General remarks
    2.  Installation
    3.  Usage

1. General remarks ---------------------------------------------------

   See notes, especially on legal terms, in $RETROBASE/doc/w11a_os_guide.txt

   Also read README_license.txt which is included in the oskit !!

2. Installation ------------------------------------------------------

   - A disk set is available from
       http://www.retro11.de/data/oc_w11/oskits/rsx11m-31_rkset.tgz
     Download, unpack and copy the disk images (*.dsk), e.g.

       cd $RETROBASE/tools/oskit/rsx11m-31_rk
       wget http://www.retro11.de/data/oc_w11/oskits/rsx11m-31_rkset.tgz
       tar -xzf rsx11m-31_rkset.tgz

3. Usage -------------------------------------------------------------

   - Start them in simulator
       pdp11 rsx11m-31_rk_boot.scmd
     or ONLY IF YOU HAVE A VALID LICENSE on w11a
       ti_w11 -u @rsx11m-31_rk_boot.tcl

   - Hit <ENTER> in the xterm window to connect to simh or backend server.
     The boot dialog in the console xterm window will look like
     (required input is in {..}, with {<CR>} denoting a carriage return:

         RSX-11M V3.1 BL22   65408K MAPPED
       >RED DK0:=SY0:
       >RED DK0:=LB0:
       >MOU DK0:SYSTEM0
       >@[1,2]STARTUP

     That RSX shows '65408K' is a bug in V3.1. It should be 1920K' the
     size of accessible memory in words. For configurations with 1 MByte
     and below the correct value is displayed, above a wrong one.

     This os version was released in December 1977, so it's no suprise
     that it is not y2k ready. So enter a date before prior to 2000.

     Now you are at the MCR prompt and can exercise the system.

     At the end is important to shutdown properly with a 'run $shutup'.
     The simululaor (or the rlink backend) can be stopped when the
     CPU has halted.
