The RL02 images probably won't help without a real RL02. Likewise .tap
images won't help without a real TK50 or 70 tape unit.
I typically gen my own M and M+ off real RL02 packs, but this takes time
and is complicated. Thus I agree with the concept of build a RD32 image

There are two versions of the TU58 emulator both from the same source I
believe. They both work well, but one has more de bugging features which are
useful. I used raspberry pi three I think. It had 2 USB serial ports. I set up

You may want to use simh (where you'll be able to mount tapes and RL02
images) to do the installation and generate an RD32 image. Once you have
the disk image, use vtserver (note - some versions are limited to 32MB
images, but there are some that remove that limitation - check if the

Start on the simulator first you can make a lot of turns quickly and know what
to expect when you work on the real hardware.

Hello to the group,
I have acquired some boards and a backplane for a PDP 11/23+. The disk
controller is an RQDX3 and I have a 3.5" drive that works as an RX50. I
have a greazeweasle so I am able to write RX50 images to 3.5 inch
floppies. I also have an RD32 MFM drive that also works.
Since I ha
