Pre-V5.5 versions of RT-11 come with the "DP:" driver, but this
doesn't do RM03's, just RP02's and RP03's. It wouldn't suprise
me if it got confused when you hooked a RM03 (real or emulated)
to a system and tried to access it with the "DP:" driver, but
that's "operator error".

There are several DECUS-distributed RM03 device drivers for RT-11,
and there were also a couple of commercial ones sold by third parties
in the 1980's. The most likely DECUS driver is library entry 11-517,
"System Device Handler For RM02, RM03, RP04, RP05, RP06 and RT-11 V4".
