[Simh] Non-existent Device

[Ray Jewhurst]

Here's what I did with TSS/8

sim> load tss_init.bin
sim> attach rf tss8_rf.dsk
Non-existent device
sim>

and that's as far as it went and that's all I did. How
do I enable the RL device?

Ok now here's what I did on the pdp-11:

sim> set r10 r102
Non-existent device
sim>

and that's it for starting rt-11 v5.3.  The
instructions also state that I have to put in a
BADBLOCK table when do I do that statement and what do
I use for the value? 

I'm sorry I have so many questions but I'm not real
"classic computer" literate, but would really like to
be.  They really intrigue me.

Thanks,

Ray
