Jerome Fine replies:
Which V5.0x did you use? V5.00 was released in 1983
and V5.03 was released in 1985. V5.06 was released in
1992 and V5.07 in 1998.

I have heard there are some RSX-11 distributions available.

I almost always burn myself with a soldering iron. I have
learned to stop using one.

You are welcome.
You might also want to try out:
http://www.dbit.com/
The files are located at:

You will need /e11/ and /putr/ is highly useful
helping use both e11.exe and pdp11.exe, but
legally you need a license to use e11.exe with
all versions of RT-11. NOTE that the commands
under e11.exe are often very different to do the
same thing as under SIMH. For example:
MOUNT DL0: filename
is used under e11. In general, I find that e11 is
much more versatile than SIMH, but then I use
the Full version. The hobby version of e11 has
two major restrictions which are only inconvenient
when you run RT-11. Except for the smaller
memory allowed and the smaller disk size, the
other features might help you much more. In
particular, the VT100 emulation is much better.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
