I just thought I'd share a few more of my experiences with you in the hope that they may help someone out.... Over the weekend, I finally succeeded in ftping Tapes/Torsten/v7.gz - version 7 as an RL02 image. (International ftp to the UK is terrible at present!). I have no RL02, so I booted the image on Bob Supnic's pdp11 emulator, built a kernel to support both RL and RK05 drives and set about transferring the vital parts of the system to an RK05 image, with the kernel source, games and other non-essentials going to a second image. The two RK05 images are pretty full! I built kernels for the 11/40 (m40.o) and 11/34 (smch.o), to support just the RK05, and added a second DL-11 as previously discussed on this list. Kermiting the root image to an RK05 on my 11/34 was no trouble. My 11/34 will booth the m40.o image just fine, but the smch.o image caused much disk activity, but no console output. Version 7 thus can be persuaded to work on an 11/34a, with a single RK05. The second DL11 is recognised and works as expected. Version 7 seems significantly slower than version 6, when multi-user mode is entered. Thus, I think I'd recommend version 6 for a small system ...
