Jerome Fine replies:
When Megan Gentry mentioned that the PDT-11/150
is able to do a LLF (Low Level Format) on the 8" floppy
media, I asked about the possibility of a hard disk drive.
Does the PDT-11/150 use the DX.SYS device driver
to run the RX01 floppy media?
I know there is a device driver called PD.SYS, but I am
not sure what it supports.
Also, from what I understand, the PDT-11/150 can run
RT-11, but not RT11XM, only RT11SJ and RT11FB.
And the maximum memory is probably 64 KBytes with
the IOPAGE taking either 8 KBytes (or 4 KBytes?).
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
