Well... if you go trolling for images, try to find one for RSTS too!
Last time I communicated with Mr. Supnik, he indicated that the reason
that the RSTS (and I suppose RSX) software is not with the rest of the
emulator set is because no one has yet come up with an image for a
(disk) device that is supported by the emulator.
(obviously, my Micro-RSTS RX-50 images did not help for the same
reason...)
