About PDP-11's...
Nice to see that there's still so much PDP-11's in
(hobbyist) use. We have also one PDP-11/23 Plus running
in our cellar (with 2 Megabytes of RAM, four RL02-drives
and fourteen RS-lines). It's currently running RSX-11M
(V4.1 BL35). Naturally we are interested about any
PD or alike software we can find for it. So is there any kind
of DECUS-server in net containing any RSX or RT-11
stuff ? At least here in Finland, prices of local
Decus are too much for us, and as our machine has
neither magtape unit nor floppy-drives, it's impossible
to order from them.
We have DECUS-C (I don't remember the version) in our machine,
but it's probably lacking some header files like cx.h.
I want to know how to use some system routines, e.g. to read and
set the UIC, to spawn the command to DCL or MCR, how to
handle wildcards from C and some other useful routines.
I have also heard that it's possible to get SCSI-controllers
to PDP-11's but is it possible for this model (23 plus), which
has "Extended 22-bit LSI-bus" instead of Unibus ?
And is there any software support in RSX-11 for SCSI-disks ?
(I think RL02's are consuming too much electricity for
that 10 MB capacity).
I'm also interested to get any newer operating system,
like RSX-11M-Plus or some version of Unix (V.? or BSD 2.?),
but do they (unix) run on this model, which doesn't have separate
I- and D-space ?
Our PDP-11/23+ (called Elukka) is answering in number
+358-0-701-666-0 with USRobo Courier HST Dual Standard
(V.22-V.32, 8-N-1 24H). We welcome all guest users.
