Friends, tu58fs 1.1 now supports oversized TU58 tape images, with capacity up to 32MB instead of 256KB. This was easy to made for XXDP. Under RT-11 the DD.SYS driver must be patched and reinstalled, tu58fs now handles this automatically. The GITHUB release at https://github.com/j-hoppe

Next milestone reached: tu58fs 1.0 now supports the RT-11 file system, additional to DOS11/XXDP (phew!) And its easier to use: I also precompiled binaries für Linux x64, Win32 Cygwin, ARM Beaglebone Black and RPi. Also some batch files show typical usage, XXDP/RT-11 tape and disk images are

Mark, thanks for your answer. Your Phyton RT-11 code looks good to me, I'll rely on it at least as reference. Joerg I've written (bad?) Python code to manipulate RT-11 filesystems, including on TU58 tape images: https://github.com/NF6X/pyRT11 I don't remember which specific documentation I

Guys, I'm working on a special TU58 emulator called "tu58fs". It saves the "tape content" not only in a binary image file, but also as a file set in a shared directory on the host. The content of the "tape" (as seen by the PDP) changes automatically as
