So a DU11? Hmmmm. Does SIMH emulate that? It doesn't look like it does. And I don't know that VMS ever supported that device, anyway. RSX did, but various other systems tended to stay away from it because of the high software overhead. I do know that VMS supports DMC-11 (or DMR-11, essentially the same at the driver level), and there is support for that in the in-development release of SIMH. paul Hello! What a predicament. Cory you said you'd upload it someplace to make it available for us to do stuff with. Okay where? How big is it, and what is the magic to convince (or confuse) SIMH for the VAX to bring it up? http://gewt.net/vms015.dsk It is around 14M, and I am uploading it now. My upload is slow, so be patient. ;) Try grabbing it in about an hour or so. SYSTEM password is manager. Disable all SIMH devices except TS and RP. Try using git as well.
