RSTS/E Question

  One last go at this.. (3rd time = charm??)

  If anyone reading The List is familiar with RSTS/E V9.x (I am
running 9.7) I have a small perplexity.

  I have performed a recent sysgen to add RL02, RK05, RX02, and
networking functionality to RSTS on my 11/44.

  I have a pair of RL02s and an RL11 card installed in the machine.
The RL02 subsystem appears to function normally according to the
appropriate docs.

  I can init the RL02s, I can erase and re-init, and during the
init process, if called for, the disk check patterns run to
completion and bad blocks (if any) are found and written to BADB.SYS.

  I can mount the drives, and can see them mounted by SHOW DEV.

  What I *can't* do is read or write to them... the error message
'device not available' results from trying to alloc, dir, or any
copy or pip operation.

  I have tried mounting the /PUBLIC to no avail.

  I have the RSTS Orange Wall coming, but it's not here yet... I'm
hoping I'm doing/not doing something dumb or obvious...

  Thanks and cheers

John
