RK06/RK07's were supported at one time on the RK611 IIRC. I think they were on the first 11/780's back in the late '70's. Minimum 11/780 config I saw on DECnotes at one time was an RK06/RK07 with 128MB of Memory used for minimum price Vax sales. Never saw real ones in the field with smaller disks than an RM03 as the main disk. -- Johnny Billquist || "I'm on a bus || on a psychedelic trip email: bqt at softjar.se || Reading murder books pdp is alive! || tryin' to stay hip" - B.

Can we hook this up to a VAX or something?

On 2011-08-23 20:50, G ran hling wrote: On the original question... Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_8-inch_floppy_formats I'd say that this drive "can" be hooked to for example a VAX, even though it would be more easy to use a PDP-11. Well, the format of the media have little to do with if the device can be hooked up to a machine or not. (And DARN! I realize I think of capacities in words, not bytes, which made a comment I made in a previous mail wrong. :-/ ) It would be equally easy to hook it to a VAX and a PDP-11, since they use the same bus, and the same peripherials. So, if you design a controller for a PDP-11, it will work on a VAX as well, assuming you have a VAX with the same bus as the PDP-11, that is. ;-) When the interface gets ready and a driver software is written, this would enable reading of IBM-diskettes with their data/code ;-) Right. I'd doubt that DEC-diskettes (RX01 or RX02) could be used, but that might be me being just a little to negative... You might be. The DEC RX01 format is just the plain IBM 3740 format. Single Side, Single Density. I have used plenty of IBM floppies in my RX01 drive... The RX02 format, however, is DECs own, incompatible thing. Also, the interface between the floppy and the controller is very different between the DEC drives and whatever IBM used. One important question might be if this type of drive uses soft or hard sectors. (Soft means one index hole per revolution, hard means one per sector, ie often like 16/rev. IBM often used the latter in their consoles for 370 etc. The RX drives, as well as at least the IBM 3740 is soft sectored. But I can't really remember if this is actually taken care of by the drive or by the controller - I'd guess controller actually. That means this drive might be successfully interfaced using for example an RXV21. No. The DEC interface is totally different than any other contemporary stuff. It's a pure digital interface which is fairly advanced. The RX01 and RX02 drives have a microcontroller, which performs the requested actions for you, so the controller on the computer can be really simple. So for the RX drives, all interpretation of analog signals from the drives are handled in the drive, as is all low level format stuff and god knows what more... One issue might be that DEC is stated to use 77 tracks, the IBM says "usable tracks 74" - question is how many tracks the stepper motor actually has accessible by other mechanics - possibly, this might be more of a media concern. Possibly. But I've used IBM media in the RX01 just fine. The RX01 manuals claims that the media in the RX01 is compatible with IBM 3740 Family of equipment. Myself, If access to an 8" floppy for DEC-equipment is wanted, I'd go for either true RX02 (though the drive is quite bulky), or a true 3:d party driver, like BASF, possibly Fujitsu etc. Myself, I've got a couple of double drives 8" 1/2-height (about 1 1/2") neatly packed side by side in an 19" 1he unit that used to be connected to a micro-vax. In my opinion, IBM hardware is often "odd", big blue was big enough not to care for industrial standards, and is therefore at the best my second choice... :-) Johnny Happy computing, anyway! /G ran On 2011-08-23 19:08, Sampsa Laine wrote: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-IBM-6360-8-Disk-Drive-Displaywriter-/1107… -- Johnny Billquist || "I'm on a bus || on a psychedelic trip email: bqt at softjar.se || Reading murder books pdp is alive! || tryin' to stay hip" - B.

A TU58 is a joke device that connects via a UART; the driver for it is a pile of software that speaks a packet protocol over that UART to send/receive the data. Indeed. And thus, the only thing you need on your computer, to interface to a TU58, is a serial port. The TU56 is a classic PDP-11 style DMA device, hooked to a Unibus interface. It looks somewhat like an old style disk interface (like the RK05 or RP04) except that you first had to seek to the required block number (by doing read block number operations until the right number shows up). Also, a TU56 is reliable, unlike a TU58. And fast... Don't forget that part! ;-) The TU58 is horrible...

Also, the console floppy on the 11/780 didn't sit on the "normal" Unibus. I don't know if the FE had an integrated floppy controller, but it might have been a small Qbus in there as well. I used a PDP-11/40 with RX02's but never actually seen such an interface on a VAX unibus. They were already going out of fashion when VAXen began to spread. Very useful to transfer data between systems; this was before ethernet was common, let alone affordable. An alternative was the RL02. Which became the load device for the PDP-11/23 console in the 8600/8650. Well, it's not a 11/23, but a T11 (the 11/23 uses the F11 chip). But yes, the 86x0 uses an RL02 for the FE. Much more convenient, since it can hold all of the system, and all of the diagnostics on one pack. With the 11/78x, you had to have a set of floppies, and running diagnostics means swapping floppies a lot. Also, the 86x0 have a Qbus, with a RLV12 controller in there. :-) And this disk is also not normally available from VMS, unless you connect it with SYSGEN. I can't remember whether the RK05 was supported by VMS? I don't think it was. Neither was the RK06/RK07, but I believe it shipped with a driver for those.

And any of the UNIBUS VAXen (730, 750, 780, etc) would directly support an RX01/02 on an RX211 interface. Such combinations were not unusual and were supported by VMS. I've got a 11/730 with an RX02 drive in the garage. Likewise any of the BI bus VAXen with a UBA could at least in theory do the same, though by that time 8" floppies were uncommon.

How to turn off SYSBOOT> prompt on rx2600

by hvlems＠zonnet.nl

Setting the boot flags in EFI to 0,1 gets you into sysBOOT. The boot flags are controlled by the console, srm on alpha amd efi on ia64. Setting STARTUP_P1 to "MIN" results in a minimal noot, so what STARTUP.COM does is affected. Or control at VMS level and happens in sysGEN So sysBOOT is not sysGEN, though both allow control over VMS parameters. But sysBOOT runs at a time when VMS is not yet running.
