I didn't investigate to that level. I just figured I'd fire the
question at the gang here since it'd been so long since I'd messed with RSX.
The hardware is, as far as I can tell, otherwise fine. I built the
system up from parts a few weeks ago, and have exercised it with RT-11.
The order of dependence on strictly working (and/or accurately emulated)
hardware goes: RT => RSX => RSTS. So the fact that something works
with RT proves *nothing*! (I've learned this the hard way so many times.)
Indeed...I've been bitten by that a few times as well. Like this time. ;)
Of course, looked at another way, it's nice of RT to be willing to run
on hardware that's not long for this world...
True. ;)
