Any idea how to interface an 8" drive to a PC? Would I need a Shugart
type drive? I take it the RX01 type drives are no use in this regard?
What software would I use under DOS to read RT11 volumes? (I think I
have it, but I forget it's name).

See my previous posts - declexia ---- DZ11, I mean!

Oooops. What device manager ??.SYS is used for the DZ11? TT.SYS ??

Any idea which SET commmands. My RT manuals don't seem to help on this.

I'll try that.

I'll try that. According to the messages of others, I may boot virgin
RT11 5.x without multiterminal support.
