OK, I've spent around 8 hours today going through the pile of PDP-11 stuff
that I got. In doing so I've made a disturbing discovery. Of the 4 RL02
disk packs that contain the media kit for RSX-11M 4.1, 3 of them have red
markers. You know the ones that say don't use if marker is red.
What I want to do is transfer the data off of those packs onto disk images
using one of my MV2's. This isn't a problem as I've done it before, what
concerns me is the safety of doing it since the packs are "Red".
Secondly, can a RL01 be read in a RL02 drive, or will I have to get one of
the RL01's that I got today up and running in order to archive the RL01
packs. I want to get one of them archived ASAP as it has Whitesmith C on
it (and I think Pascal).
None of the RL01's have white/red markers so I've no idea how safe they are.
