First I need to find the exact size of the drive so I can set an RAUSER to it.   I can then install RSTS/E *IF* I can get SIMH to boot and install from the RSTS/E V10.1 tape (which I can't get it to do).

Are you getting weird "invalid block size" messages?

If so, check:

- Your CPU type is 11/73 (I'm pretty sure other options will work, but not, for instance, 11/70)
- Make sure you have set your tape drive to READ ONLY (set TS0 LOCK)
- Use the TS device.

I'm right now repeating the install to check it just works. Looking at the monitor building progress bar ...

It worked 

Memory available to RSTS/E is 2044K words.

Re-creating CRASH.SYS file with minimum size of 1316 blocks

Proceed with system startup? <YES>
