RL02s Working, need Driver info

  Well... in my attempts to get RL02 drives integreated into my
11/44 system, I have discovered that I have mounted two bad drives
(out of a possible 9) in the damn rack. Yesiree.. just the Way it Goes.

  I rolled in two of the Drives that Dave Jenner so graciously gave
me, and lo! they work like the Book says they should. They test
good, they load, they come into ready, and the fault light stays
mercifully dark.

  Now: naturally the required drivers for DL devices are not resident
when RSTS is booted. Since I am lacking any decent RSTS
documentation, and since the 'help' utility is not that much help in
this instance, I was wondering if anyone reading the List might be
able to help me with finding and loading the correct drivers for
'DL'.

  I could maybe do this under RT11, but RSTS... d'oh!

  I have RSTS V9.7 -08 RSTS97 (DB0).

  It looks like this:

$ mount DL0:
        ^
 mount: illegal device name

$

 (Same for allocate)


  I have not printed out the installation log, but it is present
from the last time the machine was sysgenned.. if that would be of
any help.

  I will try and provide any more info from the system that might be
required, but I confess I don't know exactly what to ask in this
situation.

  Cheers and thanks for everyone's help so far..

Cheers

John
