It should be by easy to do, although I thought Tom put the BRU support code in there because I remember one the folks we worked (Mital in Canada IIRC) used RSX somewhere and he had the deal with it when then sent us tapes. But may be it was not BRU. I don't remember as that worked started as I was leaving UCB and Tom had become the new mr. 9-track and Thus I did not write that code (I did write the original RT11 support with which he started). I obviously don't know what Tom might have done. It's definitely possible he did. But depending on when this was, it might have been another format called DSC (Disk Save and Compress), which is what RSX used up until V3.something. Which is, I think, almost mid-80s. My first 11/34 came with an RSX-11M v4.2 distribution tape, which had been kicking around there for a couple of years already, in 1986, so I'd assume 3.x was a bit earlier than mid-80s. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ/3 New Kensington, PA
