I just picked up a PDP11 at an auction. And need some help.. if you know anything about this rather heavy machine please contact me.. Erin MacNeil (902) 434 - 5702 -- erin@ug.cs.dal.ca erin@dalac Have you ever booted one?. I can boot RT-11 off of DL0, but am unable to do anything with DL1. It seems to load up the needed device driver for the first RL02, but I don't know how to tell it two things.. 1) That I have another drive.. 2) That I have a printer, (although I don't know which port to plug it into....) Of course a manual would be handy.. but I didn't get one. Any suggestions? helpfull hints.. [And as an aside does anyone know how much it actually weighs?] Cheers, Erin -- erin@ug.cs.dal.ca erin@dalac
