[Simh] RSTS/E v96 installation

[Bill Heaton]

Hi Fausto,

I'm currently writing a How-To on sysgening RSTS/E V9.6 and can
say that your on the right track.  I think that what's its saying is  
that
those tasks haven't changed.

Using the TU tape drive is slightly easier.  Here's my config that I'm
using to successfully sysgen the system.  Once your up, use DB0:
as your system device.  MM0: for the first tape, and MM1: for the
second tape.

BTW: for those that are wondering.  I have all the piece for my first
release together.  Calling it the "RSTS V9 Archive".   Well over the
50% mark for getting it out to the world.  I'm still tuning the sysgen.

Regards, Bill
