[HECnet] VAX/VMS 1.50

Apparently not. The reason I came up with the device is that I used a PDP 11/40 with a DU11 to connect to a Burroughs B7700 using an RJE like protocol. It was called SYSTEM/SATCOM IIRC. The PDP ran RT-11 V4. Other than that, networks were built using 1200 baud modems on serial lines. No DMF32 nor DZ11 in '79. How did one connect all those VT52's and LA36's, via a DL11? -----Original Message----- From: "Cory Smelosky" <b4 at gewt.net> Sender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Date: Thu, 04 Apr 2013 20:59:42 To: <hecnet at Update.UU.SE> Reply-To: hecnet at Update.UU.SECc: hvlems<hvlems at zonnet.nl> Subject: Re: [HECnet] VAX/VMS 1.50 On 04/04/2013 04:45 PM, hvlems wrote: No ethernet in '79, no phase IV. So a DU11? Hmmmm. Does SIMH emulate that? ------Origineel bericht------ Van: Cory Smelosky Afzender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at update.uu.se Beantwoorden: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: [HECnet] VAX/VMS 1.50 Verzonden: 4 april 2013 22:31 Afternoon all, I managed to get this to boot in SIMH with minimal effort.

Pre-Phase-IV using a device SIMH doesn't have emulation support for? ;) I can upload this disk image if anyone wants it. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments
