Another option would be to use TU58em (a real serial port makes life easier), and boot RT11 on the 11/05 with an image created under SimH. I did that recently with an S100 PDP-11 board from s100computers.com and got RT11 and diagnostics to run. (Long story, that.) Then you could use that to set up an RT11 floppy on the 11/05. RX01's are, IIRC, just standard IBM 3740 format, yes? JRJ
