    Well I finally got my 11/34 running and all tested. The task ow is to build a operating system image for it.

    I have a SCSI unibuss card for the 11/34 and no tape drive to install from.

    can someone give me some pointers on installing I image on my SCSI drive that I can tailor on my 11/34 ?

    Not really sure where to start.

    Thanks

    Don:
    im having a problem getting rsx11m installed on my drive. I cannot get it to install the installation set to my scsi disk. Can I send you a drive and have you copy the installation disk set to it so I can do a sysgen??

    thanks for your help.

    Did you manage to create a system on a simulated machine?

    And then - do you have a way of accessing SCSI disks on the host where
    you are running the simulation?

    The final step after that is to just copy the disk from the simulation
    to the physical disk. Under unix you'd just use dd to copy it. For
    Windows I have no clue how to do that. But I'm sure there are tools that
    can.

    PUTR from DBIT. www.dbit.com/putr/

    I have used it many times to make a myriad of different disk formats.

    John's ERSATZ-11 will do it as well.
