If you have that CD hooked up to a (simulated) PDP-11 running RT-11, I 
could imagine that we are talking about the RT-11 partitioning of large 
MSCP drives.

  Thanks to Ray, I now have the v1 and v5 of the RT-11
CD (well, the ISO 
 file of it). However, I am confused by the nature of the virtual CD.
 
 I have extracted the file RTV5RL.03 and started an installation using 
 it. I have not continued with the installation, but it looks like it 
 should work.So far,so good.
 
 However, the file README.1st refers to there being several RT11 
 partitions?on the CD and that? some of these are bootable. I have never 
 come across multiple partitions on a CD and I don't know how to access 
 them. The SIMH ATTACH command appears to only connect to files, not 
 partitions on a disk.
 
 So I am stuck. Any suggestions?

rsts.org <http://rsts.org> has the RT-11 CD in its archive and v5 of
     the CD has 5.7.

         Hi Bob,
 
         I have a similar thought. Is RT-11 V5.7 available on the
         internet somewhere? I recall discussions about this some time
         ago, but I forget the outcome.
 
         Cheers

              ? Yes, I know there?s a TCP/IP for RT11.? I might actually
