Hello!
Right now what are you running? Mr Wilson's E11 does Windows(!) it
also does DOS, and then Linux.

So, it seems I can't install RSTS/E from tape using simh (I need to set a
custom disk size to fit it on an RZ23 I think).   The RA81 is too big to fit
and I have no idea what size the random SCSI drive lying on my living room
floor is...but I think it's a bit overly large.

I'd love to just do a full install...but I have no idea if I can get a TK50
to work long enough to do that.

Also: e11 doesn't work in DOSbox.

Options:

1). Use a large drive
2). Install linux
3). Copy tape images and e11 over to pentium/233
4). Spend the next 96 hours fiddling with a TK50 continuously

Any alternate ideas?   I'm leaning towards the first.   Are the SIMH RA81 disk
images anything special or can I shove one directly on a drive on an
MSCP-emulating SCSI controller?
