Since DECnet I can get files from my Linux box to the VAX, and from there
to the PDP-11 when it's running RSX-11M 4.2 it's now easier to get stuff
transfered to the PDP-11, and this weekend I hope to have TCP/IP working
under RT-11 since I figured out how to transfer files from the RSX disks to
the RT-11 disk.
Now the first quesiton is this. I've got a bunch of RL01's and RL02's with
software on them, and when I got them I backed them up onto my Linux box so
I could play with them in the Emulator without having RL01/02 drives in the
house. Using the network I should be able to transfer those Disk Images
over to the PDP-11. However, can I mount those disk images under RSX-11M
4.2 like I can RT-11 disk images under RT-11? If so what do I need to do
this?
Second question. As I understand it, using DECnet it is possible to use
the tape drive on VAX from another VAX. Well, the VAX in the house doesn't
have a tapedrive, and I've not run the network out to the garage. So is it
possible to have the VAX access the TK-50 on the PDP-11/73 via DECnet?
