I am attempting to add a large disk (500 MB) to my old PDP 11/73 under
RT-11 v5.4B.  I have the disk up and running, but I only have access to
about 262 MB.  Each disk partition is 65535 blocks and I have DU0 through
DU7 mapped to partitions zero through seven.
The problem is - how do I get the DU handler to recognize units greater
than 7?  The RT manual says the DU handler supports up to 256 partitions,
but if I try to use greater than 7, I get a KMON-F-Invalid Command error.
I have tried altering the DU handler by setting the value DU$UNITS to 16 -
the handler compiles, but I still do not get access to anything over 7.

Any ideas...?  Please e-mail responses.
