It’s been a very long time since I partitioned an ES47/GS80 (would have been
whilst I worked for Compaq prior to the HP takeover) but ISTR that the reason
for the 2P rule was that you couldn’t partition the memory subsystems within a
dynamic duo. It’s been a long time and I no longer have access

I haven’t looked but does the simh 11/780 also provide PDP-11 compatibility

I see there’s a MIPS edition of the second book. My copy of the second book has
Hennessy as the first author.
Time for a re-read - it’s been a while since I read both of them.

The OpenVMS EXCHANGE command is the most likely tool used to transfer the data.
As it’s name implies, it is designed to move data to and from foreign systems

at is much more likely to be RT-11 than ODS-2.
You mentioned that you had a directory listing of one or more of the floppies.
Can you scan one (or type it up)? The layout of the directory listing should
give a clue to the on-disk format.

Let’s say UCX had some deficiencies (being polite) and was replaced with TCPIP
Services for OpenVMS. This TCP/IP stack was based on the code from Tru64 Unix
(aka Digital Unix aka OSF/1) and used what was known as the basket to map the
OpenVMS API to Tru64 and vice versa.

replaced 10 or 15 in six months :-(
