Hi!

 Does RX device on the PDP-11 use track 0 ? I have a 15-year old RX
image and trying to boot it.
Unfortunately, SIMH's bootloader reads Sector=1 Track=1, not Sector=1 Track=0

 See PDP11/pdp11_rx.c :

...
   An RX01 diskette consists of 77 tracks, each with 26 sectors of 128B.
   Tracks are numbered 0-76, sectors 1-26.
...

Bootloader:

...
    0012761, 0000001, 0000002,      /* MOV #1, 2(R1)        ; sector */
...
    0012761, 0000001, 0000002,      /* MOV #1, 2(R1)        ; track */
...

 Is this correct ?


 Does RX floppy use skew factor ?
