But then they would end up in separate tape files. :-(
maketape will pad each of "mtboot",
"mtboot", and "boot" out to an even
length of 512 bytes. The "cat | dd" method will not pad the first two
out.
Ahhh--of course. One would have to do a series of "dd"s in order to
get the padding happening. I discovered
this while trying to create a bootable tape image for simh.
I needed to emulate the maketape behavior for it to work.
That's not a bad idea. Perhaps I should just make a minimal bootable image
using simh or such, dd it to a SCSI disk, and then attach that to my 11/73.
Might be easier than endless futzing with the TK50.
