Hello,

I run a simh instance with RSTS (BITXOT in HECNET) and this is the sequence I use to boot it. Add these lines to your simh .INI file and see if they work for you:

echo
;echo "boot rp" to boot RSTS/E
echo Booting RSTS/E from RP0 (DB0:)

EXPECT "Today\'s date?"
boot rp
SEND AFTER=10000 "%DATE_DD%-%DATE_MMM%-%DATE_YY%\r"
EXPECT "Current time?"
continue
SEND AFTER=10000 "%TIME_HH%:%TIME_MM%\r"
EXPECT "Start timesharing? <Yes>"
continue
SEND AFTER=10000 "\r"
EXPECT "Proceed with system startup? <YES> "
continue
SEND AFTER=10000 "\r"
continue


I hope it helps!
