ANY information >would be appreciated, like I say, I'm a programmer! :-) Hmmm, you can hand almost any kind of disks on an 11/34. For MASSBUS disks, you'll need a massbus interface. All Unibus controllers can be used right away. (I think) Recommend you get something bigger than RK05. They are only 3.5Mbyte a piece. >Oh yeah, almost forgot, can I get TECO for RT-11? I love TECO, >haven't used it in years, but I still haven't found an editor >that even comes close to it, IMHO! Yes, TECO-11 is available for RT-11. It should actually be on the RT-11 distribution I think. We have an 11/34 with RSX-11M running here. It has 1 meg of memory, one RL01, one RL02 and one RM03. One DH-11 (16 terminal ports). Great fun... By "we", I mean the computer club in Uppsala, Update. Johnny
